Would you please recommend a basic-intermediate level source of information
about creating DAP's.

I think that what I am trying to accomplish is a pretty standard scenario:
give the user selections on about 5 different attributes; then, based on the
selections, spit out a list of the parts that match the chosen criteria. I
set up the data structure, and I have created a form with queries that does
what I want... I thought I could run the form on the internet, but I didn't
realize until today that I would have to re-create the form and my queries as
a DAP.

I have been searching all day, but I have found very little documentation
about this. (or, more correctly, I should say that the little documentation
I have found is either very simplistic, or requires me to be a VBA expert.)

I would appreciate any suggestions that you can offer.

I vote that you should be a VB expert.

DAP are probably the most difficult possible component for any
developers. Probably more difficult than anything that Ajax has; more
difficult than ASP; etc.

It's a great object model. It's just that there ARENT any examples
(well MS has one good set of examples; I just can't find it).

PS - here is some VB i wrote to deal with DAPs; this is a LOT more code
than you need.. i was basically constructing DAPs dynamically; thru
ASP.

Aside from a few books (e.g., Microsoft ACCESS 2003 Inside Out by John
Viescas), MSDN Library probably has most info about DAPs. This website gets
you started:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/

On the left menu, drill down under Office Solutions Development into the
various Office trees and go under Access trees to find DAP info. Various
articles there.
