1) I think that people use Apache as old versions of IIS were crap. In addition, it is about the widest used server out there in the commercial world (Linux running Apache with PHP3 is I believe the most common config at the moment) so if you're developing something to put on such a site, it's more likely to work if you develop with something close to that setup (note probs with case sensititivity and so on on with Apache that won't necesarily be exposed on IIS) 2) Check out the MySQL (www.mysql.com) site and look to download myaccess2000_1_4.zip, this is an Access plug-in that someone has kindly written to convert data and structure from Access 2000 MDB to MySQL (I've not tried them, but I think it also allows dbase conversion and a few others).
