[AccessD] Access Front-End via Web Enabled

Looks like I chose the dark side ;-)

When I wanted to develop dynamic website, I went for the PHP/MySQL 
option. There were two reasons: my hosting company offered these 
pre-installed and they are free ;-)

Being open-source, there is an extensive amount of free help available 
on the 'net.

I'm not a programer but found the migration from Access/VBA to MySql/PHP 
fairly painless.

Chris Foote
