Given online help few have tried to.
What do you really want to do? Expression Web is cheap and really good
at creating static pages. Why use a shovel to chop some wood?

I think you're going to have to clarify a bit more what you're trying to
achieve here. With the exception of data access pages, for the most part MS
access has absolutely no relationship to web based software at all. As a
general rule you can't create anything for the web with MS access any way,
unless you are in fact using data access pages.

However, assuming you are using data access pages, just simply create a
table with one record in it, and that record will never change, and at the
end of the day you now have created what amounts to a static page. You
could use this dummy table over and over for every single static page that
you require, and of course it would not be displaying any real data from the
table.

So that documentation might be correct, but with a little creative work
around, I see no reason why you can't just use a dummy table over and over
for those static pages that you need.

Also keep in mind that any report you create in the regular version of MS
access can export and save that report as an HTML file, which in theory
would be static, and which in theory could be uploaded to your website via
ftp.
