Hi Chang,

Open a data access page on a Web server in Access:

In the Database window (Database window: The window that appears when you
open an Access database or an Access project. It displays shortcuts for
creating new database objects and opening existing objects.), click Pages
under Objects.
Double-click the Edit Web page that already exists object shortcut.
Under Look in, click My Network Places, and then double-click the network
location that contains the data access page (data access page: A Web page,
published from Access, that has a connection to a database. In a data
access page, you can view, add to, edit, and manipulate the data stored in
the database. A page can also include data from other sources, such as
Excel.) you want to open.
In the folder list, locate and double-click the folder that contains the
data access page.
Double-click the page you want to open.
Note Make sure your supporting files folder is in the same folder as the
data access page so that any links are maintained.
