I want to use a drop-down list box on a Data Access Page (created using
Access), but I am concerned how the control will work on client computers
that do not have Office installed, but have the minimum requirement of Office
Web Components installed. This is important, since I would like to publish an
Access page using this control on the internet.
The Knowledge Base article 288729 is not explicitly clear on how IE handles
Data Access Pages when the client computer does not have MS Office installed
but only has the Office Web Components installed. In this case IE works in
"run-time static" mode. The article indicates that pages cannot be used to
“update†a database, but “view†only. The article also seems to indicate that
many of the controls are view only or will not work. My question is:
"Will a Drop-down List box work in this situation"? "Will the user still be
able to click on the box and select from the list (not to update the
database, but so script can determine what to display)"?
