Okay, one step further down the road... ;-)
Now is the question if you want to learn how to script InDesign from the
outside - then you should first look for the prerequisites: InDesign updated
to 2.0.2, do you have the Visual Basic IDE on hand, or want to use VBScript
(shipped with almost every Office application), and then getting into the
basics of the scripting with your choosen language. Then visit the Adobe
website, search there for "Indesign" and "Scripting" to get the scripting
reference manual. In it are some basic scripts how to connect via the
scripting language to InDesign. After setting this up, we can help you with
the then upcoming problems.
With a simple user interface I would say 2-4 hours work to accomplish the
basic version of such an interface between access and InDesign if you are
familliar with databases and the scripting interface of InDesign.
