    Launching Access DB from the Web

    I have created some forms, reports, and queries in Access 2000, but now I need the easiest way to create a web page that will run those.

    Is there an easy way in VB or Visual Web Designer to simply create a button that will open data entry forms/reports/queries that already exist in an Access DB? Can I simply put in a hyperlink to the DB and move the DB to the VWD project directory?

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks

    Microsoft Access is not web enabled. There is no way to do what you seek. The first version of a web enabled solution is in the Access2010 beta but is not ready yet for priime time - plus you would need to remake your application as one must use special web controls.

    For general browser connectivity one needs to consider getting a web development solution or considering one of the web based database services of which I would recommend www.DabbleDB.com.

    If it does not involve general browser connectivity - but rather geographically distributed users of the same Access database (running locally) then I would recommend www.AccessTables.com

    Hope this helps
