Retrieving from a MS Access DB

I'm relatively new to any form of website design aside from HTML.

I wanted to setup a website that would be able to display information (via search) that I have within a MS Access Database.

Say the DB has 10 000 names, the person would search the name and it would display all the information about them.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

The best way is to use asp.net. Download Visual Web Developer 2005 and SQL Express. While you can still use Access, I recommend SQL Express.

If you want to do something really simple, you can do web forms in Access but you are extremely limited.

If you choose ASP.net you have a lot of learning ahead of you but you can get a ton of great videos at http://asp.net

I'd second the suggestion for mssql + .NET. .NET has excellent features for datasets and when you combine these with stored procedures and full-text indexing, you have an enterprise-class solution right out of the box.

I must concur. I use .NET 1.1 to 3.5 beta exclusively and love every inch of it. The extensability of the object models with the simplicity of use makes them one of the top candidates for this type of work. The website host will need to allow ASP.NET 2.0 to use the Visual Studio 2005 Express suite of tools but that IDE is free and allows you to program anything you wish. It is a stripped down version of the payware versions, ie standard and professional, in the sense that it doesn't have some toold but the languages are the same and the ability to create even enterprise applications web or windows is very much present.

I recommend this highly!
