User Interface?

[Melissa]

Hi there

Is it possible to create a "user interface" (form) in Macromedia flash? and
then use it in an access database?

Im trying to find new ways to create my forms in access, as all the forms I
create are very "Square" (for lack of a better word

Please could someone advise me?

Thank you kindly


Melissa

Yes, it is. You can use the Flash ActiveX object and hook into its events.

BUT: I would in this case consider using SilverLight and programming in
a .Net language as it integrates better (imho).

This is imho an advantage of Access:

The GUIs provide the same look'n'feel. So the user has not to learn
anything new about it.

You meant:

Use the MS WebBroser control, display a HTML page containing your Flash
and hook into the before navigate event.

Hi Melissa,

You can use Access as just the backend database. Any programming
environment that can access Access databases through ADO, DAO, OLE, ODBC or
JDBC should be able to get to the data. Then you can use that environment's
GUI design tools to create whatever you want for the interface.
