Many thanks for the replies. Hopefully I’ll get there, but it will take time so I’ll close this topic as ‘resolved’.
Thanks, I’ll try there.
You refer to “the database tools built into WP”. Are there any that I should be aware of, other than php itself?
Bluehost operates via WordPress, ie, a Bluehost website is a WordPress website (I get emails from WordPress notifying me of software updates). The WordPress blurb for these forums says they are for self-hosted and “Self-hosted WordPress requires purchasing hosting with another provider, such as Bluehost, …”. So I think I am in the right place.
I have tried exporting from MSAccess into things like MySQL, but there seems to be endless software to download, and no matter what I try I never get there. Some of the answers on these forums on related topics seem to suggest that direct connection to MSAccess is possible, and that would (should!) be so much easier.
