Chapter 19. USING ACCESS WITH THE INTERNET
IN THIS CHAPTER
Because the Internet is the hottest topic in the computer industry today, it makes sense that Access, as well as all the other Office products, has features that take advantage of the Internet.
This chapter is actually bigger than the Internet, however—if you can believe that. Some features that have sort of “fallen” out of the Internet you can now use inside your applications on either an intranet (a companywide Internet), among applications on your system, or even within your Access application itself.
This chapter isn't an Internet primer. Billions of books teach you what the Internet is and how to use it. But this chapter tells you what Internet features are included in Access.
Note
A new feature in Access 2000 is Data Pages, which allow you to create a new type of form that also has report features and can be directly brought over to the Internet. The source for Data Pages is HTML. Data Pages are so hot that a whole chapter is included to cover them—Chapter 12, “Working with Data Pages.”
The mighty Hyperlink is the kickoff for this chapter.
