Access "Pages" as a way to set up web based applications

Hi:

Can someone answer the following questions about "Pages"

a. Are they are good way to develop web based access applications?
b. Is there a good manual like "Pages for Idiots" which will help in setting up a simple
application?

No, they load into a web browser, there the similarity ends. They're
basically Access running inside your browser. The client side must be
able to "see" the database, it will work on a LAN but get into the realm
of WANs and the internet, where normal web pages are good, these ones
will fail.

And, to reinforce... each user must be using Internet Explorer 5.5 or later,
thus also running Windows, and must have the Office Web Extensions
installed. They can't be used with any other browser, or any other O/S. So
they are useful only where you have control over the users' software
configuration.

Hi! I'm playing around with Wilson's master pages for ASP.NET 1.1. It seems ok, but I'm really struggling with the following two problems: 1) I want all .aspx pages to inherit from the same codebehind (lots of static content). Some pages have a different menu. I want to be able to, in the individual .aspx pages, be able to add e.g. <mp:content id="menu"

Hi all, We have created some "Base" class pages for our WebForms and UserControls. For instance, when we create a WebForm called "WebForm1.aspx", instead of inheriting from "System.Web.UI.Page" we implement from our "Base" class page which itself inherits from "System.Web.UI.Page" -- I know, pretty standard. We do the same with our UserControls, instead they inherit from "System.Web.UI.UserControl". Now, there are some methods that we...

In Internet Explorer under the tools/internet options menu on the general tab, there is a settings button under Temporary internet files. In there the user can specify when to "Check for newer versions of stored pages." I want to make sure that my pages are refreshed every time they visit regardless of this setting. Is there a way to do this? Thanks ... Ed

Hi Everyone, As it says in the title, I'm looking for a way to display a page while long running operations are performed on the server. Ideally, I'd like some way to push the current request onto some stack, where it would continue to be processed asynchronously (most importantly preserving things like view state, form post data, etc). In the interim, while the main request is processed, a friendly page will be displayed to the user....

"Pages" as in the web page UI to an MS Access back end. Just had a lunchtime discussion with a couple of co-workers and none of us have been able to actually use a "Page".... but our experiences were all several years ago... we tried it back then, found we couldn't do anything "Real-World" with it, and gave up. Anybody actually doing something with these things? If so, what version of MS Access?
