I am trying to crate a web application for a database (a form and a search+results pages). HOWEVER, I am seriously stuck because I cannot install IIS on my workstation to start working. The university I am at cannot have me IIS installed (it's forbidden) because it would turn my workstation into a server. I am at a certain university but the host will be somewhere else (not 100% sure where).
My question is:
Is there any way around IIS? I just want to start working and connect Dreamweaver with my Access database! I don't need to be online. Or do I have to be online to test it even at the early stages of the work?
PS: The database is not big (I don't even have the data) I just created the tables, relationships etc. In other words I am open to use any other database system too if that was an easier process...
Any help would be appreciated!

Would the Personal Web Server 4.0 work for me? http://www.asp101.com/resources/haneng/042199.asp
This will only work locally (and may not work at all). I have only got this to work on XP-Professional. Go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools. You may have to click Switch to Classic View to find Administrative Tools. Now go into Data Sources (ODBC). Click on MS Access Database and click Configure. Enter a name for the Data Source Name. Under database, click Select. Now go find where you have the db saved.
Lost time is never found again.

Unfortunately, it is just not enough help for me. I have already done the ODBC thing before (because you mentioned it replying to my first post). But then what I have from you is a PHP script. I think what I need is an ASP script. Anyway, I think I have to experiment or seek in person help. I am not a programmer so these things are not in my area.
Thanks anyway.
