Converting databases to HTML

We made quite good experiences with a product called Cold Fusion. It is a
sort of interface software between SQL-databases and the web. It is a
rather cheap and simple to use tool and we utilize it to make an Access-DB
(Version 6.0, that was before Windows 95!!) searchable from the WWW. You
can give a look to our service at http://www.isn.ethz.ch . Note that all
pages except the home page and a few reference pages are dynamically
generated from an ACCESS 6.0 DB via the Cold Fusion Interface. The results
are most satisfactory.

Hope this is of help
