Web Interface

[Jasper Recto]

I spoke with an access programmer that says the he displays all his programs
using a web interface. Basically, instead of using forms, he uses a web
page to display and enter information.

Does anybody do this?

Is this a better way of utilizing a access database?

Thanks,
Jasper

My first question is why? Why would you want to do this? Based on your
reasons then perhaps we can better guide you.

Access already comes with a powerful GUI, unless you have a specific
need/reason I would not even consider going down than avenue.

Second, if you really need a web based database solution, sadly I would not
suggest access (and I love access). Technically speaking access is not a web
database tool.

Although you can create data access pages, and this is most probably what
the developper was talking about, once again they are not the easiest things
to create/setup....

It all comes down to what is your need? What version of access are you
using? Please give us some more information.

He's not an Access programmer, he's a web
programmer. An Access programmer writes
vba code to customize Access forms, reports,
and the Access interface and to manipulate
data without the use of built in wizards.

DAPs ain't worth a diddly damn, but some has made em work. What about them
folk? Access programmer or not? You got some strong opinions, but you ain't
allus right, not near.
