Re: Need help with simple Row & column web fomat
Ok, with Linux your best bet is probably using PHP. You can connect to an Access database with PHP, and have it display whatever is in the database. Its not as easy as it sounds (nor is it as hard as you'd think). Try »bryanmills.net:8086/archives/200···and-php/ for a quick run-through. That's kind of old though (I think?)
You could try MetaBase »www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/20.html
You'd just need to upload the access file to your server and write the PHP pages for doing the connection and display. You could do your changes in Access and just upload the new file when you're ready for the changes to go live.
An alternative would be to migrate to MySQL or PostGres and use PHP (or Rails, or Django) and make your updates in your web application. Course, you could probably do that w/ Access as well, but I wouldn't use Access for anything thats production. |
