If I have an Access db which I would like people to be able to add data to
from external locations via the web, is there a program which I can create a
form in, hopefully with 2 sub forms that could link into the ongoing db that
is on the company's server? If so, what program? what do I need to do for
secure logging in ?

Thanks
Terri

If you need a secure web app to input data you shouldn't be using an Access
db. SQL Server would be a better choice, it can be made secure. SQL Server
Express is a free version you can download from Microsoft.

You can build forms with web design applications depending on which scripting
languages you know. You can use php, asp.net, asp, perl, java, etc.

Thanks. If I don't know any language, which is going to be either the most
versitle or the easiest for someone with a limited knowledge of Access code?

For a beginner who has only basic data driven web app needs, you might try
the free Visual Web Developer Express edition to help you build simple asp.
net apps on SQL Server. You can get the download link and links to free
online tutorials and support forums from here:
