    There is no such thing as HTML compiler. What you need to do is to write a web application that would take data from your database, and display it in a web page. This can be done by using a web server (Internet Information Server is available for free with Windows XP Professional) and ASP.NET (special kind of HTML files that include code). FrontPage or Visual Studio may help you.

    you do not compile HTML. as for your access database, im not sure it has that capability. you can always convert it to mssql or mysql or the likes, and use php or some similar language to do that though. Kizmet: i said you do not COMPILE HTML code. ask a web designer? ok, I'll ask myself. oh look, you don't compile HTML. hey, while your at it, take a look at http://evildomain.org and tell me where you see my "compiled" HTML code.

    If you just want to make the information in the database viewable to users in IE you can open up access, right click on the table that has your data, then select 'Export'. When it is prompts you to save the file select 'HTML format' from the dropdown then save the file. This will save all you data in an HTML document which you can then view in IE and upload to your website. This is the simplest way but isn't dynamic if the data is changing. Then you will need to use some web programming language like ColdFusion, php, or .NET to access the file dynamically after you create an ODBC connection to the Access file. Remember though, if you are going to be updating the Access file you cannot access that file directly while it is being used on the website as Access isn't setup to support multiple connections like mySQL or SQL server.
