Posting Form Content to a URL?

[swbrodie]

Hello.

Does anyone know of a way to post the contents of an Access form to a URL? Not create a data access page... just post the contents to the browser window.

I would like to be able to click a button on the form and have it launch the user's browser.

I could create a variable on the form that combines the form field contents into a URL, which would be passed to the browser. Then I can have the web page pull the form contents from the URL variables.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You could do this but it would require you to be able to program in PHP / ASP.
An alternative method but which is longer and less flexible is to use VBA to 'create' a HTML file, plugging in values into the places you want, saving the file then opening this file.

Edit:
You could also open a textfile using the OpenTextFile method, assign the contents to a variable (I think this is possible) then use a string search to find and replace certain constants in your variable with the data in the form and save the doc.

I think DAP would be easier though althogh I have no experience using them.
