Transfer a quick & dirty MS Access...

Basically my question is simple. Will coffecup enable me to functionally reproduce our MS Access db app with extreme ease (trick question ;) ) ?
At present we have 1 Access form looking into a flat file (1 table) Access database with basic display and search functions.
The app is used for prospecting potential customers witheir usual info (Company, Name, address etc.), searches on dates (when to call back) with a memo field and a clickable list of companies to display details on screen. The list can display subsets of data.
At present the single user works Wednesdays in another location and we set up a VPN connection to copy one way on Tuesday evenings and back again on Thursday mornings. It would be so much easier to web it and have it hosted on a commercial site.
So would you recommend Coffecup HTML editor for this ? And does it have all the hooks available to tap into a database ?
Many thanks for having taken the time to read this :)

Quick and dirty? No.

No matter what html editor you use, you would need some ASP scripting to work with the database. That would require some work and reading up on the matter.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
