Web-based vs. Split database

[tom]

I am a novice when it comes to mdb development and am
currently looking for assistance with
converting/understanding the difference between a “web-
based” vs. “split” databases. Can anyone please explain
in simplistic form?

Also, how would I convert from a split db to a web-based
db?

TFTH,
Tom

Tom, are you talking about Access?

You can (and should) SPLIT your Access applications into Client
and Data pieces ... AND you can WEB ENABLE your database.

I don't understand what you mean by convert from splti to web.

Danny,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am using Access 2000 and
would like to create web pages that enter data into my
table just like the forms that I am currently using. The
problem I am having is that I can create the page, but
can't add new records to the table.

Any ideas,
Tom

Tom:

As an example of what can be done, go to a site I made for a friend ...
http://www.amazecreations.com/survey/Login.asp

To login, select Admin (all) as the region, Danny Lesandrini as the user and
123456 for a password. This page (and subsequent pages) look up data in
Access tables to create the drop down lists. I even use them in updateable
fields. Click the Edit Tables link and click on Offices for an example.

If this fits your needs, I'll forward the code to you, though I didn't
write it with the idea of anyone looking at it, and comments may be sparce.
Be warned that, while not all that difficult, it's also not trivial to write
an ASP web app that allows users to edit data. Everything that Access does
for you behind the scenes now has to be coded by you.
