You as an application developer can implement an HTTP based protocol that provides access to the "small Access database" thru the server software that is installed in the company webserver. The client portion of the webapp can use Xhr or Gears.HttpRequest to read the small Access database by way of that HTTP protocol, and then write whatever it likes into a local Gears.Database.
