Webmaster Forum / ASP / Database Access / April 2007Tool for converting Access Queries & Forms to ASP for Web ?
Is there a tool for converting Microsoft Access Queries & Forms to ASP so you can put it on the web? We have an Access database with a half dozen tables, plus a number of queries and forms. Some of the forms have sub-forms and are quite complicated. Must we create all these queries and Forms from scratch to port it to ASP and put it on the web? If not... are there other alternatives? Thanks for any comments & suggeestions. Mel > Is there a tool for converting Microsoft Access Queries & Forms to > ASP > so you can put it on the web? Again. No. There really was no need to multipost this. We all saw it the first time you posted it to .general I'm sorry you did not like my answer, but there it is.  SignatureMicrosoft MVP -- ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup. The email account listed in my From header is my spam trap, so I don't check it very often. You will get a quicker response by posting to the newsgroup. Bob, 1 - I posted here after I did not get an answer on the other news group. I waited 24 hours or so. Actually my post didn't even show on the newsgroup until today (Thursday() and I think I posted it on Tuesday afternoon. 2 - I had no idea that you were active on both groups. I just discovered this one. I haven't done ASP in a long time and wasn't even sure which newsgroup was the proper one to post on. And... Gee Whiz... why all the emotion ? Take a deep breath, please. No one has any ill intent here... and thes online forums/groups are great places for people with like interest to chat and share knowledge in a friendly and helpful manor... aren't they? I'm sure you were just having a bad day so I won't take it personal... and I sincerely thank you for the information and your kind assistance and hope that you will be generious enough to continue to offer me tips as I struggle through this project... I'll need it. Mel > And... Gee Whiz... why all the emotion ? I'm not sure what emotion you are attributing to me. I was not having a bad day: it does not take a bad day to motivate me to give advice to people. I made that post to advise you of the proper netiquette, not to chastise or put you on the defensive. Of all the points you cited in your defense, the only semi-valid one was where you stated that you had not even seen your initial post after 24 hours. I'm not sure why this was so (your post had two replies within two hours of its posting, one of which came from me), but the proper action at this point would have been to repeat your post in the same newsgroup, along with (and this is important) an explanation for why you were repeating the post. It is never a good idea to post the same message to another newsgroup without first ascertaining that you chose the wrong newsgroup for your initial post This is called "multiposting" and it is analogous to running into room A, shouting a question and, before receiving a reply, running into room B to shout it again. This is bad, both for you, who now has to run back and forth between the two rooms to see if anyone has provided an answer, but also for the room occupants, who may waste their time providing an answer for a problem that has already been solved in the other room. They may become sufficiently annoyed at you so as to ignore any subsequent questions from you. That is what I was trying to help you avoid. It is always a good idea to browse through recent posts in a newsgroup before making a post. In addition to the chance that doing so might allow you to find the answer to your question without posting, this will also give you the chance to see who provides answers in the group, thus allowing you to see that most of us provide answers in both asp.db and asp.general. Again, this is not meant as a chastisement, so there is no need to either apologize or get defensive. SignatureMicrosoft MVP -- ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup.

Thanks for your comments. I guess I equate different groups to different people... and asking two (or three) different groups of people the same question assures one a good selection of possible solutions and explanations. I guess this doesn't work so well if the members of group one also are the members of group two, etc... in which case you probably really only have one group :) Just a difference in philosophy I guess. Best, Mel > Bob, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > two (or three) different groups of people the same question assures > one a good selection of possible solutions and explanations. Crosspost instead of multiposting: send a single message with a list of the desired newsgroups in the To header. That way a single conversation takes place and responders don't waste time providing unneeded responses. SignatureMicrosoft MVP -- ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup.

I wasn't aware of "crossposting" - thanks for the tip. But educate me... what is the difference in that and multiposting? Is it that each replay is posted on each newsgroup... regardless of which group they use to replay? Does this require a special newsreader? I've always used Microsoft Outlook Express Newsreader but our isp at the office seems to have problems with Newsgroups... actually told us they didn't guarntee newsgroup access... so I've been using Google Groups to Post & Read... and I have to say it does make it quite easy. Thanks, Mel > I wasn't aware of "crossposting" - thanks for the tip. > > But educate me... what is the difference in that and multiposting? > > Is it that each replay is posted on each newsgroup... regardless of > which group they use to replay? Yes. With a crosspost, replies appear in all the crossposted groups, ensuring a single conversation, and mitigating the chance of duplicate responses. > Does this require a special newsreader?

I am not familiar with using GG, but I doubt it can be termed a newsreader if it does not provide the ability to crosspost. If GG does not give you the ability to crosspost, I strongly recommend picking a single group to post a question to, only moving to another group if advised to, and prefacing the multipost with an explanation of why you are multiposting. This shows consideration for the people taking the time out of their days to reply to your questions. SignatureMicrosoft MVP -- ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup.
