Access "Page" option

[Carol]

Hello -

I have an Access database, with a lot of forms in it. My
question is this: I see that there is also something
that you can create called a "Page". What is the
difference between this and a "normal" form? I'm
assuming it has something to do with the web, but not
sure.

If I were to create my forms using this page option, will
I still be able to retreive information from tables and
display the results on the page? Can I still use drop
down fields, search options, etc...? If so, how do I go
about doing this? I played around with it a little bit,
but it looks different from a form, so I'm not sure how
to use this.

Can someone explain in simple terms?

Thanks.

Pages were an idea that did not really work.

If you need to put Access data onto the web, there are better ways to do it.
If you need to manipulate data inside Access, forms are so much richer that
Pages are frustrating.

If you want to use pages to show your data on the web anyway, see:
