Sorry, Microsoft Windows web-servers are terra incognita for me. I run Apache servers on Windows systems and there is no reason why they couldn't access MS Access (other than that MS Access is not very multi-user friendly and it hardly warants to be called a database-server (it is more a glorified graphical front-end to their Jet-engine)).

But I would really hesitate to use MS Access databases on a web-server, given that there are so many fine free database-servers available.

As much will depend on what server you run your scripts on, I advise you to first start looking for a host before committing too much to a certain design as much may need to be re-written if the host does not support some (or all) of your requirements.
