From what I understand access databases are comma seperated data . Sooooo
you should be able to dump the data base to a file and then use a web
scripting language such as PHP or PERL to manipulate the data.. I even
beleave both the above scripting languages have modules or functions to
handle access files directly..
hope this helps you ....
