[AccessD] Access with MySQL BE

Hi Steve,
Data is minimal. It is a membership list with some attributes that drive
various web page lists. Keeping it in the Access BE and just uploading it to
MySQL would actually be just great. Care to share your methods?

Hi John,

I have a couple of applications where the main data is in Access, but
connects as required to a MySQL database to upload or download data.  I have
found it pretty simple and stable in this scenario.  Using the MySQL
database as the principal backend for the application I have no experience
with, but I imagine it would be pretty slow if you are dealing with
significant volumes of data.

Steve
