I want to keep the focus here on one thing:

How to put an ACCESS 2007 database on the WEB in the simplest manner possible.
It must allow the public to browse the databse using IE or any other common
browser.

Ideally, it will allow the web visitor to sort the list by city, zip code,
etc.... you get the idea.

Is EW the best (i.e., 'quickest') way to do this kind of simple task?

I dont know the features and limitations of Expression Web, so I'm asking for
advice....before investing a lot of time in this tool only to find out it
cannot do what we need..

Thanks.

Thanks Daniel for the article and information.

To be more clear, I should state that this would be accessed from our website.
We are not looking to create a WAN for our office use - but rather a public
website serving simple list data.

I think we may be doing something along the lines of Replication as mentioned
in your article.

I'm not sure how Expression Web works, but it seemed "simple", and, if it
allows us to create a web interface to our database (for public to browse a
simple database), then this might be what we want. I got the impression this
could be done pretty efficiently, though, and would work well for a moderate
traffic site, from some articles I've read online. Maybe I got the wrong idea.

1st off, Access is truly not a web database. So depending on your needs, you
may want to stop right here and rethink what you are doing.

In my experience, Brett, building and maintaining a data-centric web app is a task that requires a range of tools, there isn't any one tool that does it all. An at least equally important question to investigate is what technologies are available on the server(s) where the application will be hosted. You don't want to go off and learn how to create ASP.NET pages (for example) only to learn that they are not supported on your server(s).

I would start there - determine where the app will be hosted and what server-side technologies are available. Then look for development tools that support those technologies.
