I will need the following answers from you:

Size of website?

Web Tech used? I assume it will be ASP since you use MS Access

Why Access? Its not really secure or great for big sites

How clued up are you with development of websites?

NOt sure how big the website will be,

web tech is asp.

access: the database was created last year. i had no choice. (the database size is 100mb)

i'm want to use dreamweaver. i just finished my dreamweaver standard course.

Well, they won't magically appear. You will have to make each of them manually. If you have no prior knowledge, read up on some tutorials. Try http://www.asp.net/learn.
