I am looking for a way to create an ASP or php page that will allow me
to develop a webpage for a user in the plant that allows a user to
execute a button such as "Export CSV" which will then, in turn,
export the contents of an access database to a file ON the webserver.

Everything i found brings the CSV file to the client. I want the users
to click and be done. No other action should need to be taken.

I am by no means an ASP guru, but I get my feet wet here and there.

Thanks!

If you want to use ASP, have a look at the Scripting.FileSystemObject for
creating files. There's loads of easy to follow tutorials about:
http://www.brainjar.com/asp/fileops/ is one such.

I can't help with PHP. It's years since I looked at that.
