What is the best tool for building a data enabled web site? I have
lots of experience building relational database applications and I now
need to build an application for the web.

I have experience with Access, Visual Basic, FoxPro and Delphi.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you,
Reg

I have built them using Access,Informix,SQL Server,and Oracle. The
easiest is probably Access if you dont have too many users. Once you
get into the hundreds of users, I would recommend SQL Server,
especially if you are using a product like MSVI. -Kev

Sorry. I was more asking about the front end. Could you use Access for
this? If not, what tool is the best for building online database
solutions?

Thank you,

You can use Access, but I would stay away from A2K, unless you are
comfortable using ADO.  The downside of using Access in general is the back
end capabilities.  I think this is what Kevin was referring to when he
recommended Oracle, SQL Server, and Informix.

My experience with A2K and Visual Studio components is that it is torture
configuring, and requires the SP3 to get it to work.

Hi Reg,

 I've created a package consisting of an Access app, an ASP web
 and some Perl DLLs which might serve your purpose. You can find
 out more about it at http://www.kybernet.com/xaspdl.html.
