basic database question

[pow67]

Is it possible to put an Access db on the server and then link a page in
FrontPage to a specific Access report without using asp? In particular I
would like to retain the formatting of my report.

Thanks in advance.

No.

In particular I would like to retain the formatting of my
report.

If the data doesn't change rapidly, perhaps you
can "print" the report to a pdf file and then link to the
pdf file.

I use Access for most of my reporting needs. I have
incorporated macros in the Access dbase which outputs the
report to the web directory in snapshot view. This gives
a nice static report for intranet visitors. You have to
tweak the HTML code to link the snapshot to the web page,
but that is detailed in Access help. Look for report
snapshots and Snapshot viewer - there is a section dealing
with publishing them on the web.
