Access is not the bes Database platform unless your only expecting to use it internally and with very VERY little activity. But none the less it can be done, here is an example that shows you how, using ADODB, you can also use ODBC but I always found ADODB easier because I did not need to make a DSN for the database.

Hope this helps you.

thanks for the link but I've tried the script on you're link but the connection is not successful.. Maybe i preferred to use odbc because actually, I set up a dsn and I am able to connect to the database and able to return queries based on the inputs. my problem is i don't know how to create a page that a user can log-in and register like some of the website like facebook. I am really really new to php and don't know how to create scripts.please help..The only database available to use is ms access.. Please help me..

Google is your friend. Seriously. First result.
You will have to adapt it to work with ODBC, but that's not hard.
I sincerely hope you did not accept a job as a PHP programmer without knowing how to program in php, or at least successfully BS your way through it and learn as you go.

When in doubt, Google.
