Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).



SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Access 2000, you are unable to save tables, queries, or forms as a dynamic Active Server Page (ASP) like you can in Microsoft Access 97.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Access 97 uses the Publish to the Web Wizard and the HTML Layout control to create ASP files. The HTML Layout control was released with Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 as an ActiveX control. Internet Explorer versions 4.0 and later enable this functionality (and much more) natively in the browser without requiring an additional ActiveX control. Microsoft Office 2000 and Access 2000 include and require Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.



RESOLUTION
To produce interactive ASP pages, you need to write code for the ASP pages. For additional information about writing code for ASP pages and related issues, click the article numbers below to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

If you do not want to write code to create interactive ASP pages, you can still save to a static HTML page. Another option is to create a data access page.



MORE INFORMATION
In Access 97, you can save a table, query, or form as an ASP from the File menu, by clicking Save as HTML.
