access thread: Forms & Access


Message #1 by joyce@j... on Mon, 27 Jan 2003 23:48:17
Hi all,

I am currently working to create a page that insert data into my database
(the 
database is located in a remote server), this page is like the data access 
page in Microsoft Access where when view on the web, you see all the 
records in that table and you could add, update, or delete the records in 
that table. But the question I am having here is: I have a table name 
Products, and it has a relationship a table named Product Availability, 
when you expand one of the records in the Products table, from there you 
could enter info into the Product Availability table, that some of the 
related info from the Products table will cascade into the Product 
Availablility table. Is there any why to create a page/form that would let 
me enter data into the database just like the way I would in the data 
sheet view?

Thanks in advance!

Create a main form (single form) and make the Products table its control 
source.  Put a subform (Product Availability is the control source) in the 
main form and make the subform appear in datasheet view.  Tie the 
master/child fields of the main form and subform together.

Thanks Greg for the reply! But I still have a question in mind: after I
created the form/subform, is there any way I could put it on the web so
that I could use it to access my Database on my ISP's server?

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

Access XP will let you create a data access page on the web, but I've 
never used this feature.  Using something like Microsoft FrontPage will 
also put your dB on the web.  I'm sure there are other preferred methods 
out there.  It's not an area I've dealth much with.  Can anyone else out 
there shed some light on the subject?

I've used an earlier version of Access (2000) to create access data pages & 
it worked very well. I have not seen the tool to convert an existing form (I 
had to create mine new in HTML). I found however that when I created the 
HTML, I needed to use JavaScript (or VBScript) to create some of the 
functionality I had in the original form. I do not know if the conversion 
tool will do this properly or not.
