 * I have a Microsoft Access database (vossnow.net) with 115.000 pictures on a web
   site using asp script to search and view files with.
    But the owner of the web
   hosting will soon close down. And the one who made the asp files for me cant 
   help me more.
 * So I wonder if there is one or another way to use this with wordpress:
 * My database consisting of this:
 * I have a text file with description of all the pictures that looks like this:
 * foto111322.jpg>Voss fra Roset (Juni 2020)
    foto111323.jpg>Bavallen fra Hanguren(
   Juni 2020) foto111324.jpg>Bordalen fra Roset (Juni 2020) foto111325.jpg>Skulestadmo
   fra Hanguren (Juni 2020)
 * All the pictures are stored in a catalog like this:
 * foto111322.jpg
    foto111323.jpg foto111324.jpg foto111325.jpg
 * And a catalog with web files:
 * foto111322.htm
    foto111323.htm foto111324.htm foto111325.htm
 * I there a way to use this in wordPress ?

 * I don’t know anything about Access itself except I had a client using Access 
   to populate a Front Page created storefront years ago…
 * Why not look around for a host that offers a Windows-based web server and migrate
   your database to there?
 * My other thought would be to bring the files themselves into a web server or 
   else draw them into the IPFS running on a public-facing IPFS server (depending
   on your security needs here).
 * Or an internal server (if your image security needs dictate) gated to a WordPress
   system…
 * These are just ideas but there’s some host and some developer out there somewhere
   who could give you a better more permanent solution on something you’ll have 
   more control of.
 * To me it’s either a move to a compatible server or else a complete change of 
   storage methods.
