Access

Good Morning,

I am trying to construct a form yet I would like to know if it is possible to make this form accessible via the web. If this is possible can you please instruct me as to how?

Many thanks

James

RE: Access

Furthemore can you explain how when someone fills in the form the access database behind the form will be updated with the new entries?

Thanks

James

RE: Access

Hi James

Thank you for your question

Access versions up to 2003 supported "pages", which were essentially forms that were designed to make the database accessible via the web. Access 2007 no longer allows the creation of pages, although it does support databases designed in 2003 which already have pages. Thus one solution would be to design your database in Access 2003, and then maintain it in 2007.

Regards

Stephen

RE: Access

That is not possible as I dont have access to Microsoft Access 2003, is there no other solution?

Hi James

Thanks for your reply

The only other approach would be to use Microsoft Sharepoint to access your database. This is the application Microsoft recommend for this. I enclose the following link which will provide more information.
