 * Our company’s Web site was developed using WordPress. I am just starting to learn
   WordPress. I developed an Access program linked with an underlying SQL DB that
   ideally would run within WordPress.
 * While Access 2013 does have a Web App. it requires SharePoint to run on the Web
   and I was told that SharePoint and WordPress may not coexist very well.
 * So assuming Access 2013 isn’t the best tool for the job, and recognizing MySQL
   is part of our WordPress installation, will WordPress allow me to develop my 
   tables, table relationships, etc. as I can do within Access? Or, can an Access
   DB, linked with SQL be used effectively in WordPress? Our DB product will be 
   a Web-based quoting engine that requires no human intervention.
 * Any guidance or recommendations would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Joel

 * I would strongly recommend that you develop your custom application using MySQL
   if you want to use it within WordPress.
