Web database project
OK now I have an existing form on a one webpage that has aprox 50 fields. (currently saved to a access database)
This page would have to be password protected for access (& https) . Being slightly different for each user in one dropdown selection.
I would like to generate a unique 5 letter code to be displayed on the page when it is opened. It could be from a list of codes and it is to be saved with the recordset.
This code can also be used to recall a specific set of data and this data can then be changed, and saved over previous data.

reporting on the data could be quite simple say an export to excel.

should I stick with access or move towards PHP & Mysql as its more dynamic ?

I would stay away from access if there are many multiple user same time. MySQL is much more stable system.

I would too suggest to go for PHP and MySQL/PostgreSQL (as per the requirements).

Use PHP/MySQL, i have had to use ASP with an Access database recently and I didn't have a very good time with it. It's slow and unreliable when multiple users are accessing it.

It seems three/three replies saying move to PHP/MySQL sends a clear message about using Access for a web database
