Using MySQL tables instead of MS Access

Suggest you get either of the beginning PHP+MySQL books that are listed in this article.  The process you're describing is called "table maintenance" and it's one of the PHP 101 exercises that we all have to learn.  In the books it will probably be a chapter or two, so as you can imagine it's not something we can teach in a back-and-forth email forum like EE.  That's why I wrote the article.  I believe that the Welling/Thompson might be the best choice.

What I do is install rhe mySQL 5.1 ODBC Driver. Now you can create linked tables to the mySQL server tables. Now access sees the tables link any other linked table. You can create forms, reports, and queries against the linked mySQL tables as you normally would in Access.

I also use  http://www.heidisql.com/ for remote management.

NOTE: Your hosting provider myse allow remote access tot eh mySQL server. You will need to contact them to find out the connection settings to use when you set use the DSN for Access.

frugalmule, the video is nice.  However, can you please try and phrase what you want in text so your question can be useful to others.

1) You have a MySQL database

2) You have some experience relational databases via MS Access

3)
A)You want an input form for a contractor to have "All data on one page"
B) each contractor will have a page
C) something has to be added each day?

For each of these, you should elaborate on the specifics.   I would even go so far as to build a static html page so we can see what you want to do.

Is this for a website? Desktop? Mobile?
What programming language do you use?
If you were going to do this in access, what would you do?

In the meantime, here are some very good articles you should read.

Our job here is to help you help yourself.  Not write all of your code for you.  If you can let us know exactly where you are at as far as programming skills and languages you are familiar with it would be a big help.  We may need to break this out into multiple questions depending on what you are trying to do.

Please start by briefly detailing out what you want.  Make a few static web pages or forms or wire frame. (how to make test cases http://sscce.org/) Let us know your skills.
