Access as a Development Platform for Intranet/Internet Applications
Using data access pages, intranet and Internet users can update your application data from
within a browser. Data access pages are HTML documents that are bound directly to data in a
database. They are stored outside your database and are used just like standard Access forms
except that they are designed to run in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 rather than in Microsoft
Access. Internet Explorer 5.0 ships with Office 2000. Data access pages use dynamic HTML in
order to accomplish their work. Because they are supported only in Internet Explorer 5.0, data
access pages are much more appropriate as an intranet solution than as an Internet solution.
In addition to using data access pages, you can also publish your database objects as either
Static or Dynamic HTML pages. Static pages are standard HTML and can be viewed in any
browser. Database objects can be published dynamically to either the HTX/IDC file format or
to the ASP file format. HTX/IDC files are published dynamically by the Web server and are
browser independent. ASP files published by Microsoft Access are also published dynamically
by the Web server, but require Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher on the client machine.
