Hi

I have a very small, simple Access 2002 database that I fill in every now and again. I'd like to be able to upload it when I've updated it so that others can access it via a webpage with a simple interface.

After reading through I think this needs PHP and MySQL but I really don't know what these are and how to go about doing this. Can anyone give me a simple guide on how to get this up and running?

I've noticed that you've all been having problems with MySQL - is this a serious problem? Do I have to pay for MySQL and/or buy any software?

You have to pay an USD$10.00 fee to activate MySQL.

To use your access DB on mysql you will have to create the the tables in mysql and export the info from Access without the table information.
You need to upload the TXT file to the server and do a "LOAD DATA INFILE ....." command to extract the info.
Chech out the MySQL manual at www.mysql.com for the syntax of this command.
