I've been asked to take over a project that another company started. They've gone bust, so we're the replacements.

The site is quite a simple e-Commerce site for science book publishers, and they have about 180 titles.

They have a local database, which they use to edit and add new records, and there's the Web database (also Access!) on the web server (totally different part of the country).

They used to have a system where they would FTP their database to the web server (using a horrible batch file), and I guess this triggered off an update action on the server.

Now this has all gone missing

So, is there an easier/better solution I could implement to allow the client to administer their own data, and then replicate this onto the web server?

Thanks for your ideas,
Daniel Newman.

P.S. I don't think they have the money for SQL Server (in case you asked )
