Question by DM: How to get a java applet to read and display a ms access database?
I created an ms access database but now I need a website to be able to read and be to be able to display table information. I heard this can be done through a java applet how would I accomplish this?
Thank you for the responses. My knowledge of java is quite limited, could someone recommend a tutorial or an easier solution to my problem?

No, it can NOT be done via Java applet on it’s own.
Java applet (read a bit about it) runs in client’s browser and has (read about applet security) [nearly] NO access to client’s computer and can ONLY connect to the server it was loaded from. So, in order to get any DB info you need (in addition to your applet) at least a DB server (Acess is NOT a DB server) and server side script of some description to process requests from your applet and pass them to DB server and pass results back to your applet…
