Data Access Pages - please point me in the right direction!

[rs0905]

I have been tasked to make a db I created accessible on the internet. I've
never done this. I think it involves converting it to data access pages, but
I'm not sure what else I need to do! Is there a resource anyone can
recommend to help me through this process??

Thanks!!

Unless the viewers also have Office installed (specifically the web
components) and depending on the version of Access you are using the same
version of Office/web components, then the Data Access Pages are worthless.
While viewers of the page can download the needed web components, most won't
and as an additional note, they were downgraded (which means removed) from
Access 2007. There are better methods available and you may want to explore
alternatives instead.

If you must use data access pages then you might want to post your question
in one of the Access newsgroups. Someone there may have more information
regarding the pros/cons of using data access pages.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.

Hi RS.,

You can use the link below for the MS Access Data Access Page discussion group. Be sure to let them know the version of Access
you'll be using. ============
