Is it possible to migrate automatically all your forms to data access pages?
We love the forms, but would like to have an online version. I already
invested much time in forms creation and am wondering if it is possible
"port" them easily.

Thanks.
 
There is an unsupported utility at www.trigeminal.com that will move some of
them, or parts of them, depending on what can be moved. I have used it
successfuly in the past (Thanks MichKa!)
 
I have used the software that was suggested and it did work, but you
should be aware there will be issues with your subforms. I found the
best way to deal with subforms is to create two separate pages, use
frame so both can be displayed and use cookies to keep the data in
sync.
 
Thanks both of you. They claim it does sub-reports, but that doesn't seem
to be the case. I have about 10 subreports each in a tabbed pane, for one
of the forms, and none of them are migrating.
 
Actually, I'm not sure I'm using the tool correctly. It states:

To run the wizard, from the pages tab, click New. Choose Convert Form to
Page or Convert Report to Page.

??? Not seeing anything under new or whatever.
 
Well, got it working. It converted the forms. But they don't behave the
way they are supposed to. For example, entering data in the last record
does not spawn a new record.
 
You can create a button that adds a new record. Put this code on the
onclick event MSODSC.DataPages(0).NewRecord().
I kind of like the control of the user having to click the add button.
