Web Database.

[Gilberto]

hello,
I would like to know how to do a Web form on access.....
I tried to use the "Page" wizzard to create and save it as html, however I
am unable to make it work on a different place than local computer database,
I am unable to set the database and htm on the web server due to unable to
find the database error messages on the Web page. I already change the path
on the htm file to a relative address, also to a http and ftp address,
however nothing works correctly. I also try to change the properties of the
File on the IIS configuration to be able to writte and modify files,
etcetera.

I do not know if this can can be done or not. Also, if somebody send me a
webpage with some example or something, I really will appreciate it.

If somebody know how to do it using infopath, I can try it too.

Hello Gilberto,

I'm going to guess that no one ever got this to work on a remote server.
You can't direct the form to the database.

Here is what will work if you want to look into it. Visual Web Developer
will allow you to connect to remote databases which have the .net framework
enabled. You can also use either VBA or C# to program the pages, very
similarly to Access.

I have a form on http://www.dragonimporting.com/Contact.aspx which posts to
an Access Database, then emails the user, myself, and the client. You can
try it out if you like. Just put in the comments that you are testing this.

The hosting company is DiscountAsp.com. They are really good.


God Bless,

Ok, it can be done at the way as I tryed.

A regular manual and example can be found at:
http://www.uncfsu.edu/staff/mscheuerlein/

however it missed something important. a security hole. I must share the
folder with the database (fpdb by default).
and provide writte priviledges to the ASP user.

However it just works with basic information. There is no easy way to
validate compex data informatio like date or email phone number.
