For small Web sites, Access is a fine database engine. It's not very efficient, and it's susceptible to becoming corrupted or inflating itself wildly, but unless you have dozens of visitors on your site every second of the day reading and writing data, it will be fine.
ASP 3.0 is a legacy product. You should consider using ASP.NET instead.
However, I fully agree with the previous sentinment that if the tools you have will do the job, use them; ASP 3.0 and Access will, generally speaking, handle small Web sites perfectly fine.

How much data will you be storing and how many users will you have?
Generally speaking, MS Access is uncool. However, if you have a tiny website and you do not have access to any other database platform, then Access is your only choice.
There is nothing inherently wrong with ASP and MS Access (otherwise the wouldn't exist). They are not, however, your best solution for a large website because they are not good for scalability.
You'd be best off with SQL Server or MySQL or a similar client-server database.

If you are developing a database driven website, you would probably want to use a heavyweight database application. Examples of heavyweight database applications include Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. Access is a very lightweight database application and can not have many users logged in at the same time.

you at the instantaneous are not giving me a lot to artwork with right here m8, an mistakes message description or huge form would help, yet mainly i imagine you want to ascertain the database record is interior an same folder because the executable, and it will be a more desirable programming prepare to variablize each and every thing, from the route of the MS get entry to record to the names of the tables and the fields...etc. also, once you moved this system to a distinct computing device, did you bypass it as an setting up kit or basically replica/paste from one computing device to a distinct?

Yes, it is very uncool. It gets the job done and some people use it, but the use of ASP is waning. If you really want to be cool, you want to use PHP and MySQL.
All the cool kids are doing it, you should be too.

In my opinion you should not use ASP with MS access as there is one more popular server side language and database are available. They are known as php and mysql.
You should use php and mysql as they are the most flexible, reliable and most popular server side technologies we have.
When you opt for webhosting, it will be very cheap for you if you opt for php and mysql.
so, go for php and mysql.

Ofcourse, as a software Technical Lead i will suggest you to use MS SQL and ASP.net for this.. Remember you can do magics with .net when compared with ASP and adding Ajax will be superb.

Cool isn't an issue..functionality is. If you can make your website look and act like you want then by all means, use the tools you have available.
