I did speak with a couple of others today with quite a bit more experience than me; one a programming instructor, the other an engineer with several MySQL web apps under his belt. I also found that our present Access db can likely be published directly to SharePoint but whether the current tables, forms and queries will all play together nicely afterwards remains to be seen.

After scouring the intranet for clues about all this, it seems that the company's preference is for smaller workgroups such as ours to use a tool called "PowerPivot" for Excel for things like inventory tracking. Odd, since that requires later versions of Office than we and almost the entire company currently use.

So much to learn, or forget, or avoid learning in the first place..
