Lectora to Access CGI Script

Michael:
Could you give us a rundown on exactly what type of hardware/network setup you are running here? There are easy ways to write to an access database with some ASP code. But... if this is going to be run on each machine, then they have to have IIS installed on them. IIS is a free software package that comes with your windows installation for your computer (if you have XP pro, or any vista better than home basic, I believe). IIS can be installed using your install CD. However, IIS will create some security issues if these computers are not behind a firewall.
Of course, if you have a server in your intranet, this could house the ASP page I am referring to. This would be ideal for your setup.
I always default to web scripting, because it is what I am most familiar with. Perhaps someone will have a CGI based solution for you. If not, I can take you down this web-based path.
