Does anyone know what might cause netscape not to open Data Access
Pages from Microsoft Access 2000? I can open them fine with internet
explorer, but not netscape.
Data Access Pages can only be created using Access 2000 (or later) and
can only be viewed by users of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 (or
later).
The main reason is that:
1) They are heavily based on ActiveX technology which is
Microsoft-proprietary.
2) Microsoft created it for "loyal" Office / IE users and simply
doesn't want to make it cross-browser which is ensured by some
intentional incompatability methods. That is one of "put on the niddle"
services - its whole idea is to attach particular solutions to
particular browser. A durty trick but it is practiced intensively in
the business, and *not* only by Microsoft and *not* only in browser
production. Said this - please feel free to use it if you are sure that
no other browsers but IE will be used by your customers.
