Will this work?

[Mark-BES]

The company I work for uses A97 throughout. Although on my laptop I have Access 2003. I want to design my inventory control database using A2003 not 97 for obvious reasons.
I know A97 users cannot open a Acess 2003 db.

My Q is: If I created a A2003 db and also built some data access pages within the database and placed it on my server, could users view/add/edit records in the db via these pages using their web browsers? This would only be required across our small network of less than 10 users.

Any advise welcome. Even just a YES or NO would help

Many thanks.

If you do a search here for dap's you wont find much. I dont think many people use them. I have tried a couple of times, but they are messy and not very programmer friendly.

As for the 97 - 2003 issue, not sure

Many thanks for taking time to reply Dave. Yes did a search for "dap"
some very inconclusive threads in there. I don't think I will trust this as a solution.

Anyone else care to comment??

Well if you dont use any fancy smancy new features you could simply compile your database back to 97...

Or you could point out to your company that 97 is no longer supported (I think) and they need to upgrade !

Tell them that anyway.
