Access web maintenance

E

ember

Hello everyone,

is it possible to create some kind of web application (similar to
Microsoft Outlook Web Access) where i can maintain (add, change or
delete records, or perform queries) an Access database? if there is,
what should i do to create it?

the thing is that i'd like to run an access database wich is stored in
the web server that i can run without loading the application from the
client.

Thanks in advance,

ember

sure,
if you start up access you should see a toolbar on the left side
one of the icons in there says "Pages"
create a new page using the wizard
this should get you started
after creating the necessary pages you can publish those to a web
server
make sure the path to the tables in the backend is available to that
web server

ok, but are all functions available?

buttons, combo boxes, etc, etc?

The user interface is limited by the browser, but you do have most of the
controls. Browser Combo Boxes do not have the full Autoexpand functionality
of Access Combo Boxes, but do have basic function. You will just have to
experiment to see if the UI is satisfactory -- many people find this a
useful business solution in an intranet environment. See my more-detailed
answer to your other post on this subject.
