I am trying to write a front end page so to speak on our intranet siotye that
will allow the users form each location put in their payroll hours. The DB is
running on the SQL server but I am wondering which would be best to make a
front end? ASP PAge or Data Access Page. I know the DAP is limited to 4
fields only and that kind of sucks. Not sure how FP2003 will do in relation
to pulling up the member name form teh DB and allowing theentry of numbers.
Any helps, tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
If you're using a SQL Server, and your people all have Access, why not just
write an Access database project (SQL Server back-end) that connects to the
SQL Server and distribute it to your employees?

Thats what has been done in a amtter of speaking. I am considering putting a
DATA Access Page on teh intranet site, so they can open the web page that
pertains to their location and key in the times. I am just not sure how
robust a page created in Access would be. I actually Have fie cloumns on each
particular store that need to be modified, but the DAP only gives 4 columns
to work with. FP is acting goofy when I try to set teh page to connect to the
DB by tossing out all kinds of ASP errors when trying to display it. All ASP
stuff has been updated to teh latest and greatest of everything.
 
I didn't say anything about a page. I was suggesting using a distributed
Access Database Project (.adp).

My apologies, I misread. The reason I want a page iso it can be updated
via the web. I don't need them to be able to "see" tables or anything like
that.
