I am new at this, would appreciate any help I can get on how to accomplish this, I was able to get CCS to see the tables within my access database, but when I continued through the application wizard all I ever see is ERROR and no data, the final product needs to just be a simple html front end that can search the tables in the access database and either add, delete or just view the entries of the tables. I setup a system dsn pointing to my MDB file but I am guess thats not enough. When this is all done it will sit on a file server, the server does not have IIS, sql or other on it.
Thanks!

Sorry, it's not possible to use a file server for running Web applications, without IIS or another Web server. The main purpose of Web servers like IIS is to run the application code. Without it it's like running Windows or Linux without a processor - can't do

well, what would you recommend to do, I would rather not create a new interface in access, I was hoping to use html in some way to connect to the tables of access for the three basic functions of viewing, adding, and deleting

I'd recommend installing IIS on that server. I think that various "server" flavors of Windows come with IIS. Without IIS you just cannot display data via HTML/ASP or Web browsers in general.
Possibly your file server even has the IIS? If not, maybe you have another spare computer which you'd use as a Web server.

No other solution that I know of. But if you're a troublemaker install IIS on your own workstation and then give everyone your IP address as the Website URL. I've done that in the past
