Re: Access database

May I suggest a low-cost, low-tech, minimum-fuss alternative that I use all 
the time?  A quick Perl script can stack the form data in a simple 
delimited text file.  That text file can then be downloaded and imported 
into the Access table via the "File|Get external data" command.

No special server needs.  No changing hosts.  It's a good choice for 
clients who want a quick, low-cost solution.
