Data Access Page

I have 4 tables, A,B,C,D in one form and B through D are subforms of A.
Right now they are set up in such a way that they will all jump from record
to record in unison. I was informed in this forum that I could turn said form
into a Data Access Page by merely saving it as one. Access does not give me
the option to do so. Is there a way to turn a form into a Data Access Page?
And if so, how is it done?

I haven't personally done any work with DAPs, so can't comment in any
detail, but ...

a) In Access 2003, if I right-click on a form in the database window and
choose 'Save as ...' from the context menu, I get a dialog where I can
choose to save the form as a form, report, or data access page.

b) Check out Michael Kaplan's Form/Report to DAP wizard at the following URL

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.

Note that ACCESS will convert a form to a DAP, but it will not convert
subforms on that form. You must create the design for the "subform"
characteristic on the DAP yourself -- manually.
