The sole purpose of the exercise is to obtain connectivity over the net

> Second question, what type of access to the database? Do you want to access the raw database file from Microsoft Access or do you just need to be able to modify the records of the database? The latter can be done with IDC/HTX scheme with IIS 2.0 and above, ASP with IIS 3.0 and above, or Cold Fusion.
They need to modify records. (Update the DB and occasional reporting)
Tell me more about IDC/HTX, ASP cold fusion.. These could be viable
options. We are on a tight budget, to set this up!
Security is not a huge problem. the data is not sensitive.
