Data Access Page

[labprof]

Could someone briefly explain to me what Data Access pages are for? I was just playing with that feature and thought that I might have an application for it within my database. I noticed that when I entered some fields from my "play" table and saved the page it creates or seems to create a HTM file. I was hoping that I could use this approach to put the HTM file on another computer that does not have MS Access on it to allow data-attachement-data entry into my database from that computer.
Is that one possible application?
If someone could give me a few examples of how this feature is used?
I was also wondering is this where I might be able to create graphs of my data.

Your help, advice and patience is extremely appreciated.

Most Access books talk about DAP's. Hard to believe you've created an Access database without any books around. DAP's are for use on networks - intra and inter. They are kept OUTSIDE Access as HTML, XML web pages. So the computer that doesn't have Access must be on a network of some type, not standalone. You use VBScript of JScript to code the events for them. You're coding in the Internet Explorer environment, NOT Access.
Since you have no books, why don't you just install Access on the other computer?
DAP's have nothing to do with graphing. You can create graphs on forms, reports, or DAP's.
Please get some books. Especially one explaining Normalization. You did normalize your tables, didn't you?
