No Long Data Types ? huh ?

[weinux]

Hello...

I just discovered Info Type, and im excited to create a few pages as front
ends to our access data.. Problem is all my tables contain Text or Long data
Types... And it wont allow me to submit a form when it contains this data
type ...

How can this be true ? What am i missing ?

thanks in advance..

Mike

Hi Mike,

Do you mean "InfoPath?" If so, you are correct: if your database table
contains long data types you will not be able to directly bind to that
table and have the "built-in" submit functionality.

However, to get around this behavior you would create a web service that
retrieves/updates your data and then bind your InfoPath solution to the web
service.

I hope this helps!
