Options for online version of Access???

I have an association client that has been using MS Access to manage their membership roles, and once a month they send it to me for upload to their website. They now have requested a "online" Access type of database that will live on their server, and they can go in and make changes in real time.

I know I can build a bunch of panels to add, modify, delete records, but that is not want the want. They want to be able to look at the data in a database type of view and change it right there.

Any options available?

Many thanks,
sbsmithfl

I still suggest to create basic CRUD pages just via using CF wizards.

You can use the new CF extensions for eclipse to generate required codes easily.

Here is some more information:

Instant security nightmare... good luck with those "business rules" unless you can build in some protection, especially with something like Access.

Put the db on their server and allow them all to map to it.
