OK, I know nothing on this, but want to:)

What is needed inorder to create a web application that will run on our intranet?

If I write an app which use an Access database for example how do I get it out to users?

I have no control over our sites servers let alone any other site.

Do I need to have admin access to my own sites server in order to setup a web app?
 
Yes, you need admin access to set your web app.

For Access database as web application, you do not need to distribute the database to client, ASP.NET will handle it in server site, that should not be a problem.

Actually what is your problem? Because it is not so clear here...

As long as your application run on server, there is not a problem in client site, because they just need to use browser to link to your web application.
 
OK....the deal is this.

If I place a database on a file server, where do I place my web application?

I mean for example, do I have a folder for data then another for web app and the users direct their browser to the folder where the app is?

You can see I now next to nothing about this :)
 
Your application should be in a folder that was set up as an application in IIS. Then you can put your access DB file anywhere you want as long as you will be able to access it.
 
I think you need to find more information about Internet Architecture before you start develop Internet application, if not you may face a lot of problem.

As what mutant said, the database definitely will not crash with your web application, because there are 2 different things.
 
Yeah, I think Ill need to do some major reading on the topic. Thanks for the advice guys:)
