Convert an Access form to HTML

[greaseman]

Outside of manual coding, is there an easier way to convert Access 97 forms to HTML? Just the form itself, not the data related to the form. I'm hoping there might be something out there for a "lazyman's approach."

Thanks!

You can, but it probably won't look the way you want.

Open the form and choose file->export then select html as the file type. Enter a name and click Export All. No need to select a template. Use default coding.

I had already tried that.... and you're right. It didn't come anywhere near to what I had in mind. Oh, well...... I'll just code the thing from scratch.

Thanks for replying.

Try File ->Save As ->Data Access Page.

Does Access 97 have the ability to save as Data Access Page?? I didn't see it as a "Save As" type....

Unfortunately, No.

Access 2000 and XP have this functionality. If you want to put the form in a blank database and post it, I'd be more than happy to save it as an html file for you.

How very nice of you! I appreciate the offer, but I've got Acc 2000 at home and can do that myself. I really like your kind offer, though. That's what makes these forums wonderful.... the willingness of folks to help and to advise.

Wow!
