[AccessD] Preparing Database for Web

Where will it be hosted?   Publicly or in-house.

 IMNSHO, you are better of using  MySQL as the BE for web applications.  

If you are familiar with Access and SQL Server, it's simple to set up the database, if you want 
an Access FE, you can access it via OBDC with no problems and you don't have to worry 
about what web platform you are running on - *nix or Windows.  

As for "read cheap", *nix/Apache/MySQL web hosting is generally much cheaper than 
Windows  and WAMP is free and easy to instal.
