Thanks guys, much appreciated. I will tell them that they need to use a
real database. They currently don't even have a site and were asking
about hosting too. All the top hosts I looked at (IX, Lunar, BlueHost,
HostMonster, etc) don't even offer Access as an option - which makes telling
them
I have a client who wants to use Access for their database -
yeesh... Is it possible to use AMFPHP (Flash8) with MS
Access? Is Access SQL capable? Any decent hosts that offer
PHP and Access? Seems unlikely... Should I just tell them to
man-up and use MySQL?
You can connect to Access
Yes to all your questions except the 3rd, which I don't know the answer
to.

that, I feel dirty now...
Not sure about SQL, but access does support it - try typing SQL in the
query window to (if you have Access installed.)

There are OBDC drivers for PHP, so I guess it should be possible to connect
