Hi,
Hate to just say "you can't do that" but it is mostly true. The Access files(that's the files that it makes that end in .mdb) can be parsed for information and that info used in HTML pages. The truth is no database (program) is the back-end for a website. The files that the program creates provide the information used to generate many a webpage/website.
You might try for a free trial download of a Microsoft product(since it is Access that you wish to use) and see where you get(Visual Studio.)
Peace,
Crigby

I agree with crigby. But why don't you just use asp or php to communicate with the database?
