How do I create HTM documents Using an MS Access DB

[Jeff444]

Although I am very good with creating Access databases I am having trouble creating HTM's that are Access Driven.

Heres the ASP route (Access can output HTML pages, but they are nasty, this is better)

1) set up your access db as a system DSN in control panel
2) enable Personal Web Server if you are on WIn9x or IIS if you are on NT or Win2k
3) Create an ASP page (just like html, except with asp extension)
4)Open a database connection in the ASP page: (use your Access DSN)


<<
<%
Dim ADOConn
Set ADOConn = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Adodb.Connection&quot😉
ADOConn.Open &quot;DSN=MyAccessDSN&quot;
>>


5) create a recordset in the asp page: (use the connection above and any query you want)


<<
<%
Dim rs
Set rs = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Adodb.Recordset&quot😉
rs.Open &quot;Select FirstName, LastName From tblPeople&quot; , ADOConn
>>


6) loop thru the recorset until its at the end, display a line of HTML for each.


<<
While Not rs.EOF
%>
Employee Name : <%=rs(&quot;FirstName&quot😉 &amp; &quot; &quot; &amp; rs(&quot;LastName&quot😉 %> <br>
<%
rs.MoveNext
Wend
%>
>>
