HTML interface to an Access database

Oct 8th, 2008
I have an MS Access databse which supports a machine health monitoring application. I have the database schema but very little other documentation on how it has been constructed, very little support resource inside our own company to do any new development.
An important client has requested we provide a browsable HTML interface over a corporate intranet. We are considering using PC Anywhere, GOTOMY PC or a similar remote desktop but I am anticipating that this will not sit comfortably with the IT police on this site.
Is there anyone in the Daniweb community who can suggest an alternative solution and help me meet the requirement?

I may very well be just missing the bigger picture here but what is a remote desktop type interface going to help with in this case?

You could create some Web content to interact with the Access file but it would require the use of a language such as ASP, rather than just HTML.

Thanks for response, I am no expert in this field hence reason for looking for help.
I was thinking that remote desktop from one PC would access the screen displays of the Access application as if I was sitting at the Access terminal?
problem with this is only single user.
I had further feedback and the line we are going down is an Apache server and Jave code., but Im way out of my depth now.

Hi Laurie,

No matter, really, which language your developer uses to interact with the Access file as long as it work properly to meet your needs. If your developer knows enough to want to use Java within an Apache environment, it sounds like you'll end up being in good shape when it's finished. :-)

You used to be able to make such pages using wizards in Access but it was removed in Access 2007.
