Converting Access Forms to Webforms

[Senexis]

Hello,

I've scanned through the forums here and didn't notice any up-to-date links
for my answer, so I thought I'd post my question and see if I could get any
response that I could understand, lol.

I have several databases that individuals use with user interfaces (forms)
that I would love to be able to convert, and still retain their functionality
with the database, to a webpage. How can I successfully do this? The forms
themselves are a lot of work in combination with queries and reports, and I'd
rather not have to recode them all if possible.

If this is possible, I'm curious how the forms and reports would interact
with the queries and tables from the database. All the databases are located
out on a public drive and I'm looking at putting these converted forms to
pages out on our intranet.

I'd appreciate any help I can get, thank you!

You have to rebuild them using a web development technology (which Access is
not).

Think about it. If it were easy to serve up Access forms on web pages wouldn't
you expect to see lots of web sites out there that look like Access forms? Why
would companies shell out all those dollars to web developers?

Now, there are Data Access Pages (DAPs) which sound much like you are describing
and on an intranet they might be viable, but I don't think they were ever
accepted as a good solution and I don't think the newer versions even support
them any more.
