Is there a way to convert a form easily to a web page? I have a rather complex form which draws on a number of tables which I would like to convert to a web page without having to rebuild the form on the web page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If your goal is not to provide an internet access to your DB, maybe exports as HTML should answer your needs. Otherwise, you will have to look into ASP.

I think you are going to have to rebuild all your forms in HTML tables. There are no direct conversions because HTML is all text based so you are limmited by the HTTP Protocals.

Alexandre is right about looking into ASP.

Well, I just checked save as HTML, and it ives unusable results. The truth is that if your aim is to develop Data Access Pages, you can find tools (perhaps even shareware) that may help you converting your forms (no miracle though, the is still substantial amount of revision to do, but they can help saving pretty much time and efforts).
Have a look to

And if you are new to DAP, begin with having a look to Access help for Data Access Pages.
