I would love to publish my product catalog from my access database on a website. it should be a browsable catalog with search field on article number range, product group, product type and should be able to display product pictures.Within my access database i have a link to the product picture stored by filename. I'm looking for an easy solution to do this, i'm using mysql as database on my hosting provider.I can do the export to mysql myself (interfacing between access and mysql) but am looking for some hot software to display the catalog easily without programming the front website myself. I already have oscommerce installed but don't want a webshop and don't know how to disactivate all the features within oscommerce to only retain the article browsing.Thanks if you have a hint

Is it possible for a website to pull data from an Access database?
We have all our department's policies in a MS Access database on our server. Some of these policies need to be made available to the public on our website. I'm wondering if there's a way for the website to pull directly from the database rather than having to manually upload the policies to the site every time they change (annually, semi-annually).

I am trying to get a button on my form to open two reports, and also go to a website. Once at the website I want it to type in a search bar based off of the criteria of the two reports. I currently have it able to open both reports correctly, and I can get the website to open, but I am not able to find a way to get access to type anything once on the website.
I am opening the website using:
Application.FollowHyperlink _
"enterwebsite"

I am writing a program that allows users to enter customer info and I want to be able to pop up a window that will search for Postal (Zip) codes using the Postal Service URL. (I would like to position the popup so that the contents of the Address and Postal Code fields are still visible on the form). I would also like to know if there is a way to copy the contents of the Address Field in my program to the Windows Clipboard, using VBA code, so that I can paste it into the Postal Code Finder without highlighting the field contents and pressing Ctrl-C.

Actually what I am looking to do is have an Access application check some Web site for the presence of a number. This number could be the Serial number of the application and if this number exists to maybe show a message in the aplication or even terminate the application.
A quick and dirty way is for User Serial number 254, to put on a specific page of a Web site say arbitrary file 254.jpg (invisible on the Web site). The application would check for the existence of this file and if it is there, it could take some action. Everything would have to be done in stealth mode.
The following code can tell me if a specific URL exists, in this case [URL]
Code:
Private Sub cmdArbitray_Click()
Dim blnDum As Boolean
blnDum = blnCheckURL("http://www.VisualDentist.com")
' If blnDum = True then it exists
End Sub
Public Function blnCheckURL(ByVal strURL As String) As Boolean
Const FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION As Long = &H1
blnCheckURL = (InternetCheckConnection(strURL, FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0&) <> 0&)
End Function
1) How can I check for file 254.jpg?

I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv
Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |
I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.
Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?

Hi,
The situation is that we have a split DB on a LAN using Windows Server. The BE is on the server and the FE are distributed to each user PC on the LAN. (For historical reasons there are differing versions of Access at each user which was the primary motivation to split the DB)
We also have a copy of the DB on the company website which is to be updated via FTP on a regular basis. This is used for queries only by visitors. We now want our clients to be able to update their information on line in tandem with our local users.
The question is - what is the best method to keep these DBs synchronised?
My thought is to use replication with the LAN BE as the master DB and the website having a replicated version. Then we can periodically download the website version and synchronise the two - presumably we would have to disable the updating function on the website while we do this and then reload the new replicated version up to the website.
A problem I see already is that the website DB is not split where the local version is - is it possible to rejoin a split database? Synchronise it, upload a a replica and then split the BE and FE again?
All Ideas / Suggestions welcome

I am having a problem with locking, and it is crashing our website.
I suspect it is a locking problem because everytime the database goes down, I ftp into the site and see the dreaded *.ldb file.
Access is suspose to support from 15 to 20 concurrent users, right? The log files show no more than two or three users accessing the database at the same time. By "same time" I mean within one second.
Below is the code which updates the database. Can anyone see anything wrong with this?
Also, if I wrote the information to a text file with the FileSystemObject instead to Access, would I solve the problem of locking?
BEGIN CODE -----------------
sub OpenDB(sConn)
'Opens the given connection and initializes the recordset
conn.open sConn
set rs.ActiveConnection = conn
rs.CursorType = adOpenStatic
end sub
OpenDB sConnStats
'Get ID's by Names
lIdOS = GetIdOS(sOS)
lIdColor = GetIdColor(sColor)
lIdBrowser = GetIdBrowser(sBrowser)
lIdPath = GetIdPath(sPath)
lIdRef = GetIdRef(sReferer)
lIdRes = GetIdRes(sResolution)
sSQL = "SELECT * FROM Stats"
rs.Open sSQL,,,adCmdTable
'Save the data
rs.AddNew
rs("OsID") = lIdOS
rs("ColorID") = lIdColor
rs("BrowserID") = lIdBrowser
rs("PathID") = lIdPath
rs("RefID") = lIdRef
rs("ResID") = lIdRes
rs("Date") = date
rs("Time") = time
rs("IP") = sIP
rs.Update
'Terminate database connection
CloseDB

Hi all,
I work for a construction company and am after a bit of advice.
We are looking in to designing a database system to manage one of our property maintenance contracts.
We want to be able to accesss and update the database using a website, so users can gain access via Laptops / Smartphones etc. For Example a plumber can log on to the site on his PDA using a username and password and view a list of jobs outstanding for him and update the status once completed.
We also want to have a section for clients where they can log on and view reports on the status of the project.
What is the best way to impliment this? I have been looking at Access 2007, SQL, Coldfusion, Sharepoint but still so confused.....:confused:
Any advice would be great.
Cheers
Craig

Hello! intermediate databaser here and its good to be here.
I own a bridal shop and i'm creating a website to sell my dresses. I know the first step is to have a database ready, since I have so many dresses. I have my tables done with one table holding customer attributes, including name, address, and other personal information, one holding dress attributes such as color, quantity, style, price etc., and other look up tables that has to do with the styles, colors, and quantity (up to 5). Here is where the problem comes in at:
I want to keep up with the orders placed such as the date ordered, what dress they ordered, who ordered it, price paid, shipping and handling (flat rate), etc. but I do not know how to link this up to run off the website. I would like to know what are the key fields I would need in order to place orders appropriately.
Do I need special type of tables since this will be going online?
Would this be the easiest way to go about doing such a thing?
If you could point me in the right way, or to a tutorial I would greatly appreciate it.
Forever Yours

Hello,
I've searched the web for almost 2 days...and i'm completely lost:
I've got a simple online DB which stores information from a webform (e.g. name, adress, order, etc). Let's say it's called: www.mywebsite.com/onlineDB.mdb
Is it possible to link the online DB to my local DB (e.g. c:localDB.mdb), without downloading it manually?
Or do I have to put the webform information in a MySQL DB and link that one to my online DB?
TIA,
Leon

I have a DB that runs on a user's pc. It creates a pdf from a report automatically at a specific time of day. The user now wants me to automatically send this pdf to his web site so that his customers can view the report over the internet. The pc that the db runs on has an internet connection but no email system (they do not want email on this pc).
I have not been able to find code to do this. I can find code for sending email but this is not what I want to do. I'm sure it must be possible but I've never done anything like this before.

I'm new to Access and I'm using Access 2010.
I would like to be able to click a button on a form in my data base and login to a website using my username and password.
The manual login, requires two clicks after username and password, "Login" and "Click to continue"
I have tried many solutions found on the internet, none work for me. One forum reply was to send me a link to another site and it was for Excel. Is the code the same? Didn't work anyway.
From the website I want to login to, I have copied the code into a Word doc from the "inspect element" to work out the names of the fields I'm trying to put my username and password into. (see attached)
I would also like to be able to use Google Chrome as my web browser if possible?

I have constructed an application in Access2010 that uses the ActiveX WebBrowser Control.I am using the Web Browser control to navigate a website that only allows one session at a time and normally (if using a regular web browser) if you close the tab you're working on, you have to completely close the browser and reopen it to be able to acces the website again.
I have this application on 2 networks.
On PC
A) when using the WebBrowser control I can navigate to the site. But if I need to navigate away or need to log in as a different account on the site, I can close an reopen the form and that will suffice to regain access to the site.
However on PC
B) it will not allow me to navigate back to the site by closing and reopening the form (the website recognises it is not a new session). I have to close the entire database and reopen it to get the site to work again.
I would very much like PC B) to be behaving in the same manner as PC A) so that I do not have to tell users to restart the whole database in order to reaccess the site.
