I have a non-trivial Access database that I have been asked to look at putting on the web.

(By non-Trivial I mean that it's more than just a few wizard generated pages. I have plenty of VBA and screens that pull together data from several tables)

I have had a brief play with Access Data Pages, but this gives a much simpler looking application, and I suspect that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

e.g. If I have data from more than one table on a screen then it appears to become read only.

My suspicion is that it will be dificult to do much more than the simple screens that the wizards produce.

Am I better to move away from Access to something like Frontpage, for my front end screens?

If I stick with Access is there some good documentaion on using Data Access Pages.There seems to be very little resources around Data Access Pages.

I'm not sure what your question has to do with the Access 2003 VBA book. You might try posing your question on this forum. http://p2p.wrox.com/c-22/0

In the meantime, I would say that you should go to FrontPage. Though I've never attempted the task myself, I've seen a presentation at the Access Developers Group giving by someone from Microsoft where they demoed how simple it is to use Access data through FrontPage.
