23. Building a Web Database > Your First Web Database
You have two ways to create a web database:
-
Create a brand-new, from-scratch web database.
-
Take an ordinary database and transform it into a web database.
When possible, the first option is the best. If you start with a web database, Access won’t let you add incompatible features to your tables (for the most part; it can’t catch everything). By contrast, when you convert an existing database, Access does all its compatibility checking in one big step. If you’ve broken the web database rules, you need to correct the problem and start the transformation over. And unless you have an exceedingly simple database, it’s almost guaranteed to have some issues that will conflict with the web database feature.
