I am trying to create a webpage in which a Microsoft Access Form is located in a table I have crated. This form is used to submit information into my database. I am having trouble actually placing the form however. I can't seem to find in my HTML the code that designates where the cell is in the table that I want to place this in. I am sure this is possible and there may be an easier way. If anyone knows please let me know.
 
Not sure how familiar you are with HTML, table code works in the following way:
<table> <!-- Defines start of table -->
<tr> <!-- Defines start of row -->
<td> <!-- Defines start of cell -->
Cell contents here
</td> <!-- Defines end of cell -->
</tr> <!-- Defines end of row -->
</table> <!-- Defines end of table -->

The above defines a table with a single row that contains a single cell. Each row can have multiple cells, eg:
<tr><td>cell 1</td><td>cell2</td><td>cell3</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2>this spans two cells</td><td>This is underneath cell3</td></tr>

As I said above, I don't know how familiar you are with HTML already, and so you may have been aware of the stuff above. If thats the case, could you expand a little further on the problem you are having...
 
Dunno what u are using to create your table, but if it is dreamweaver, when you highlight a cell or section of a table, and then open the HTML source window, the relevant section of HTML code should be already hilited, so you can see where you are without trawling through loads of code.

Hope this is of some use Nick Price
