The intranet in the firm I work is run on an Linux Apache Server, I want to allow users to access a microsoft Access database from the intranet. Can I do this using ASP? If not does anyone have any suggestions?

Yes you can....I've done it myself for part of our own company intranet. ChiliSoft ASP (http://www.chilisoft.com/ its called SunONE ASP now) hooks in to Apache and allows database connectivity. You may have to dig around for an Access ODBC driver though, I use mine with PostgreSQL backend. I've got an old release which used to be free for small networks but it seems as though you have to pay for it now!=o( The other alternative is to use Apache::Tomcat to serve JSP pages instead. I found that the Java memory overhead was too great and stuck with ChiliSoft.
