As a former Access developer (I'm not proud of it), I can tell you this
is a definite no-go. You can't do this without both IE and Access
installed. I think it was with Office 2000 MS made it real easy to
Web-enable Access databases, all the normal widgets and controls could
be made to show up in IE, but you really needed to have access installed
for things to work. I'm not sure, but I think XP is a little better, in
that everything can be done with XML, but that would require an entire
interface re-write to the db.
