Data Access Pages without Office Installed

[Cory356]

I am building a database for users to input escalations in. The users that are actually keying the information in, do not have MS office. When they try to access the DAP html file, a message appears at the top of the page that states "The page requires the Microsoft Office Web Components.
See the Microsoft Office Web site for more information."
Can data access pages be used without office being installed? I have heard that it could also be the users internet explorer security settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Cory356,

Seems you need an update.

As for running these pages without Office, I am not sure Does the web components help? I have a funny feeling that IIS Services as part of one of the Interent Services is required.

Haven't directly answered your question but I hope this info helps.
