If this is something that you really want to keep SIMPLE, then just use plain old ASP, on whatever site you have access to. Make the data entry hours 'password protected' (either from the web side, or in the asp itself). You have your own site, don't you? Just put it there. Again, that's if you are going to keep this SIMPLE!

My wife is on the PTA. She (I as her husband) was tasked with a simple database for tracking volunteer work for the PTA. They have to track (they get "credit" for) hours that volunteers put in. This is drop dead simple for an Access database, tblVolunteer, tblVolunteerHours, and MAYBE tblLocation. Plus a report to get the data out. The problem of course is that a database requires Access (or a runtime installation). Thus... Because it is such a simple database, I am thinking of doing it as a .Net application and make it available on the web so that any authorized person can enter the data or run the report. Questions (how do I do): 1) Web hosting? 2) Security model? 3) Other issues I am not even considering? 4) Which .Net product? Comments and advice requested. John W.
