SUMMARY
Microsoft Access 97 provides features that enable you to publish data from your database as Web pages. You can create both static and dynamic Web pages; however, each type of Web page may have different requirements for the server that stores the page and the browser that views it. This article summarizes those requirements.
MORE INFORMATION
When you click Save As HTML on the File menu in Microsoft Access 97, you start the "Publish to the Web" Wizard, which helps you publish Web pages in three different formats: Static HTML, Dynamic HTX/IDC (Internet Database Connector), and Dynamic ASP (Microsoft Active Server Pages). Each format uses a different technology in the Web pages you create, and each technology may have specific requirements for your Web server and browser software.
The following table summarizes the requirements for each Web page format:
Specific Specific
File Types Browser? Server? Details
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Static HTML No No Static data; supported by all
(*.htm,*.html) Web server and browser software

Connector add-in; IIS version 2.0 or
later; Active Server on Windows NT
Server, version 4.0; IIS 5.0 on
Windows 2000; Microsoft
Personal Web Server on Windows 95;

* If you create ASP files based on a form in a Microsoft Access database,
you must browse the form using Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 3.0
or later with the HTML Layout ActiveX control; you can browse other
Microsoft Access database objects in ASP file format using any Web
browser.
NOTE: The HTML Layout Control does not exist for Macintosh computers.
