Getting Started With Web Access

[warrenmoon]

Can someone get me started or point me to a good source of information on how to connect a web page to an access database. I just want to do something simple like have one web page connected to one table that visitors can enter and scroll through data.

Thanks

Mike

I don't know what that you need to do, but this is a way to conect to web pages.
You can define a hiperlink fiel in the table and then put this field in the form. The users can clik this hiperlink and conect to this web page. My e-mail is: vzudaire@yahoo.com

I guess I wasn't very clear. I want users to be able to view and enter data in my table through a web page on the Internet, and security is not an issue, so basically I just want one web page out there that lets anyone who visits that page to edit the info and have it stored in an access database.

Access 2000 lets you create Data Access Pages which can be based on any form you have in your database. Once a page is created customers can view whatever part of your database is available via that form(s) . The Data Access Pages (which are accessible to your customers as web pages) can be used to display static data or can be used as data entry points. I work in a Library and use it to make rosters available to staff on an intranet page and also use a data access web page to collect statistical data ie. staff enter data on the web page which is databound to Access. I then use the data to generate statistical reports.

Hey maybe you should try active server pages? I started a while ago and can enter, edit + view data, if you need help with asp there's loads of it on the tek-tips site plus others also dreamweaver ultradev is a good program (i think so anyway!)

Husserl,

did you ever have problem getting drop down lists showing in your data access forms? Joseph L. Poandl
