Question online job description catalogue

I am trying to create an online job description catalogue for my company's internal website that will allow the HR manager to enter the info in an *easy* to use web page. The data should be committed to some sort of storage and be retrievable (but not alterable) by the employees.

There are the general headings of: Job Description Name, General Duties, Primary Duties some with sub headings.

I was looking at using an Access database, but the fields are limited to 255 characters. Some paragraphs are longer than that.

Another problem is that under the Primary Duties, there may or may not be sub headings and the number of points under each heading vary greatly from one description to another.

I want to use ASP pages for this project and the descriptions are currently Word documents.

Any ideas?

use a memo field in access for fields bigger than 255

for the "number of points" thing, you could use a second table with a one-to-many relationship
