Hi I am about to create a shopping cart system for my company. I am quite familiar with MS Access, therefore I was wondering if it is possible to link PHP with MS Access. My system will have the following

-A shopping cart  
-A software interface (the the staff in the company will use to check new orders)  
-A database of the actual products

I don’t want to use MySQL because i am not very familiar with it, I have been thinking about using ASP…but i am not sure, does anyone have any ideas? Also how hard is it to do what i want to do?
