I agree with Clinton. Above all else, security is important and you want something that handles credentials properly. Chances are, your sites are getting scanned by potential hackers every day and you may not know it. They don't try to hack in because of who you are, only because you are there. I also second the idea of using Drupal to do this. It comes out of the box with a lot of the features you listed, plus some. Besides, I'll bet you a pint of your favorite beer that once this data is online, your users will want to do more with it.

There are tools that let you use Filemaker as a sort of front end to MySQL http://www.filemaker.com/support/technologies/mysql.html You could export the MS Accses into csv then import into Filemaker.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Putting several small databases online.
Hi Paul, If you're comfortable with php, which it sounds like you are, I'd recommend the cakephp framework. It's lightweight and fairly easy to get started with. The Tutorial provides a nice introduction to getting started and quickly building a simple CRUD app like you are talking about. It doesn't come with as much built in as Drupal, but it does mean there is a lot less to worry about and so you can get your barebones site up pretty quickly. There are also quite a few plugins available to help you build up a site quickly without writing too much custom code.
