Drew - no, they don't have SQL Server. I thought that since this really should be viewed as a web application that Access wouldn't be the best back end for future growth. This company sells DVD's online - they are getting into selling more and more products which will be available for downloading to mobile phones etc. It sounds to me like I should plan for significant growth, so that put me off Access.

I have a client who needs to put some data on the web which will connect to a 3rd party shopping cart product, ie. they want to display their goods on the web and allow them to be sold on to retail clients. They already have the shopping cart side organised, but they have a statically typed website - no database to feed it. They also need an internal system which will meet administration, management and reporting requirements - but fairly simple stuff. They are very strapped for cash (smirk) and want a fairly inexpensive solution. Lately I have been working on .net with SQL Server 2005 systems which would be a great solution - but way too expensive in development costs. So what about SQL Server BE with Access front end? I know it's very common but can someone tell me: - any gotchas - cost for client in terms of licences they would need for SQL? I can't seem to find a clear answer by googling. Thanks. ______________________________________ Kath Pelletti Software Design and Solutions Pty Ltd.
