Templates for Data Access Pages

Good Afternoon,

I have a question and I am somewhat new to access.

I am setting up a data access page that will display an employees open items
here at work. I have several employees so I will need to have several data
access pages. Is there any way to set up some form of data access page
template and just change the tables that the information is being pulled
from? I want them all to look the same, I just want the information pulled
from each of my employees tables that I have already set up.

I have tried to find this information on my own and have not had any success.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. My apologies if I am not
making any sense.

Thanks.

Josh
 
Are you using a different table for each employe? This doesn't make sense
in a modern relational database.

As to your question about DAP, you cannot have template with DAP. Of
course, you can save the same page multiple times and edit each one but I'm
not sure if this is what you are asking.

The usual way would be to set up something like a combobox to choose/filter
the right employee or, if you are working against SQL-Server, to use the
login account to filter the relevant information.

You can ask in the newsgroup about DAP: m.p.access.dataaccess.pages but I
must warn you that DAPs are pretty much dead by now.
 
I usually 'WRAP' an ASP page 'AROUND' a DAP page


I've done a lot of complex DAP work, let me know and I would be glad to help
you more with DAPs
