Open Access Form on a web page

[gnibbles]

Is it possible to open an Access form from a web page and it be displayed correctly on the web page rather than it open up in Microsoft access?

You can't do that, sorry. Access forms are local only to Access and can't be displayed or viewed outside of the program. You could emulate the form using HTML and ASP in a webpage. You'd just have to create an ASP/HTML form that did the same things from scratch though. Harold Blackorby

I'm working on this same thing using data access pages. This is what I have so far:
* From within access db choose the pages tab
* Create a data access page from the "form" you want to use
* Save this as xyform, the default extension is .htm
* now open the xyform.htm in the browser and voila you can do everything from your browser

Limitations:
* you'll probably have to lower your IE security settings, otherwise it won't load
* I have'nt been able to open the .htm file over the web...my client machine's gives the following error

"safety settings on your machine do not permit accessing a data source on another domain"
