hello…
one response i would toss out here is that while we love to help on specific things, this is sort of like asking your car mechanic how to fix your car. it’s not as simple as a single set of steps…it takes a long time to learn everything and become proficient in the field, so it’s hard for us to say “oh to learn web development, just do X”… :-/
but we’re glad to help however we can…all we ask is for people to imagine what it would take to teach somebody what they do and keep in mind that it’s no different here…

no harm in using tables – just a bit of cleanup needed i think – give this a try:

hello…
(note that this response is all based on my experience with office 2k3 and before – this could have changed more recently)
[Fernando Mol] “But what he is asking me to do is to share the database so the users can access it online with MS Access.”
you can’t share an access db online like that – technically you can’t even open an access db from a drive that is different than the one access is installed on. they could all download, change and upload back, but naturally that’s not very thread-safe… :-/
you can connect to it with php and the access db calls, but even there if user A has the table open for reading or writing, no other users can access it then. but in terms of letting people interact with it online, it would have to be php or some other related language…
hope that helps!

apple-l – all shortcuts for the app are listed next to the related menu item…
(in this case, open location under file)

hello…
google is your friend – you are on the very basics here with web stuff. if you put a file on your server and the user clicks to download it, they have a copy. then they can open it and do what they want with it.
you need to make a link in your page:
<a href=”/path/to/foo.doc”>click to download foo.doc</a>
this is the html needed. if you are having a hard time, i suggest googling up some basics on html (there are endless resources out there that we can’t replicate here) or pick up a book at the store…
not trying to be snarky – just honest. us teaching you one thing at a time won’t end up in you learning the bigger concepts, so best to find a start to finish resource out there…

hello…
a web server is just like your computer with a file structure. all web pages exist in a directory on that server. impossible for us to theorize where outside of a few traditional locations, but since we don’t know the os or other info, we can’t say.
i guarantee that the host for your account has instructions on their site as to how to ftp up content to your site – best plan for you is to follow those docs and you’ll be good to go.

hello…
you can easily achieve this in photoshop – were you looking for some sort of automated technique on a website for multiple images?
here’s an example of a photoshop solution:

hello…
you can configure ftp to be rather restrictive for any given user, however you would need access to the ftp daemon in unix land (or the app in windows land) to configure that. assuming you are on a shared server, you can check the control panel for your account if you have one and see if you have any options there…
you might want to consider client area packages that run in php or the likes…w/o knowing much about your server, it’s hard to offer more specifics, though…

[Toby Van Kleeck] “The keyboard in question is about a month old, so basically brand new.”
do the keys work in other combinations (cmd-a, cmd-v, etc.) or on their own?
i don’t know of any app that ever lets you set those shortcuts via preferences, so it’s likely not that…
