Looks like some others have pointed you in the right direction as far as interfacing with Access. For the "web" part of your application, I'd recommend CherryPy (http://www.cherrypy.org). It lets you write web applications in python. Example: from time import ctime from cherrypy import cpg header = """ <html> <head><title>%s</title></head> <body> """ footer = """ </body> </html> """ class Site: def index(self): yield header % ('Index',) yield "<h3>Here is a header</h3>\n" yield "<p>Here is a paragraph. It is currently is %s.</p>\n" % (ctime(),) yield "<p>Here is a list of items</p>\n" yield "<ul>\n" for num in range(10): yield "<li>Item %s</li>\n" % (num,) yield "</ul>\n" yield footer index.exposed = True cpg.root = Site() cpg.server.start() ----------------------------------- That starts a webserver listening on port 8080 serving up your "index" method at: http://yourhost:8080/ or http://yourhost:8080/index Anyhow, CherryPy is very easy to get a hold of. Good luck with your web application. Christian http://www.dowski.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
