Many organizations that store accounting, manufacturing, marketing, sales, and other information on their computers have discovered the advantages of sharing this information within the company through an intranet, or with the rest of the world through the Internet. With Access, you can speed up this process by exporting the information stored in a database as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages. You can export tables, queries, forms, and reports to an HTML file. Access converts a table, query, or form to an HTML table when you export it, and converts a report to a series of linked HTML files (one for each page of the report). Tip If you export to an HTML file, you can view the table in a browser, such as Internet Explorer. To see the tags that define the structure of the table, either view the source in the browser or open the file in a text editor. In this exercise, you will export a report from a database to an HTML file.
USE the 07_ExportHtml database. This practice file is located in the Chapter04 subfolder under SBS_Access2007. OPEN the 07_ExportHtml database.
CLOSE your Web browser, the Export HTML Document wizard, and the 07_ExportHtml database. |
