    Publishing a database on my webpage

    Hi, I'm quite new on this forum, so don't throw tomatoes at me if I've picked a wrong section.
    I've recently created a database of my personal contacts (accdb format) and now I wanna publish it on my website (created on weebly.com).
    Any suggesting how to do that?


    I've got complete lack of ideas.
    Thanks in advance

    I do not have Access 2013 but the way I understand it is you will need to use SharePoint to host the data. Access 2013 uses a newer technology than previous versions with regard to Web Databases. This new technology may allow more conventional methods of connecting to SQL server using Internet Browser interfaces. However, I have yet to try it. Most of the research I have come up with tells me you will still need to create a SharePoint list to view, edit, delete the data on your published database.

    I believe the type of SQL backend that is created by Access has restrictions on remote connections, much like SQL Server Express edition does.

    What if I do not have Microsoft SharePoint? I installed only Access, Excel, Word and Power Point, I thought other programmes would be useless for me :/

    SharePoint is a server technology. You can purchase hosted space via service providers like Microsoft and Network Solutions. Perhaps a trial period for a basic SharePoint List would help.

    Sure thing. Navigating these large domains is cryptic at best.

    Understand that there are different levels of hosting and services. Having dedicated IP addresses and access to the root of servers will enable you to do more than the simple hosting services.

    As for Microsoft, starting here may be helpful

    and here are some hosting solutions offered directly from Microsoft

    Understand that SharePoint used with Access will require a certain level of service. The very basic plans may offer a SharePoint List but may not offer direct interaction with an Access DB file or in the case of Access2013 an SQL DB
