Re: web applications

Rick,
Thank you for your response...albeit not what I wanted to hear, what I think
I knew was the case.

As our budget does not allow for the hiring of a web developer and I have
never been one to shy away from a learning challenge, could you please
perhaps suggest what my first step "down the long road" might be? Any
reference materials I could look up to get me started? I really would rather
take a learning curve here and now and avoid having to manage and maintain 4
individual databases, 2 of them remotely.

Thanks again.
