Data Reports

[tman24m]

Does anyone remember the simple Access form with a record navigation control?

I'd like to build an APS page that does this. I just want a page that opens up and displays the last record of a table (in a non-gridlike fashion). I just installed VS .Net two days ago and it seems like a really complex task. I can get text boxes on my page but where do I go from there? I don't want to take too much of anyones time, but if someone could point me to a step by step tutorial or give me some help that would be excellent.

Thanks
Trent

tman: Well, set up the page with the required number of textboxes. Set up a connection to Access. Use the DataReader to fill the textboxes (DataReader Command SQL will have something like a DLAST operator). I could put up a bit of sample code if that might help you.

Sample code would be awesome!

Thanks Isadore

- DataReader -

I didn't see it in the toolbox? Am I missing something? Or does it need to be written in VB?

Thx

tam: I have site up that uses Access OLEDb and built entirely in NotePad (so HTML and VB code is on the same page). Post your email and I'll send you a zip file with several pages that has many example. You can follow the zip files by going to:

...that will help you get started. Keep in mind however the preferred coding route would have you Visual Studio IDE, etc... recommend you buy a half dozen good programming books on dot NET (ASP.NET).

If you have any further questions let me know.

Good Luck! The aspx pages are on their way.

You are the man! Those are some nice looking charts you've got. If I had that, I'd be money

tman: Well, order ChartDirector (free trial version) and you've got the code, all it takes beyond that is the dot NET framework, IIS and Access and you're off to the races. Drop me a note if you need help.
