Microsoft Access: a second try to get info.

[Pinkham, Lida]

I have found the File/Save As HTML options in MSAccess to be very limiting
and don't know of a way to get around your situation.

You may want to look into learning Active Server Pages.  It will give you a
lot of flexability in creating output for the web from an Access database.
If you want dynamic (real-time data) then you will need a Windows NT server,
running IIS (although I recent read there are now products that allow you do
use ASP on other types of internet servers).  If you just want to create
reports in HTML, you can just load Personal Web Server & Active Server Pages
(both are free) on your PC, create the ASPs & save the output as just
regular HTML pages.

Our webmaster taught himself the basics with the "Active Server Pages for
Dummies" book and then explored more advanced topics using "Activer Server
Pages" published by WROX press.  He also uses several websites such as
http://www.activeserverpages.com as references
