What's new about data access pages

A data access page is a Web page that you can use to add, edit, view, or manipulate current data in a Microsoft Access database or an SQL Server database. You can create pages that are used to enter and edit data, similar to Access forms. You can also create pages that display records grouped hierarchically, similar to Access reports.

• Collect and distribute current data in several ways   You can use pages to add, edit, and view data within a Microsoft Access database or Microsoft Access project; you can use them on the Internet or on an intranet, and you can send them in e-mail.
  
  
• View grouped records interactively   On grouped pages, you can view just the details you want by expanding and collapsing group headers. You can also sort and filter records.
  
  
• Analyze data and make projections   You can organize data in different ways using a PivotTable list, make projections and do complex calculations using a spreadsheet control, and view data graphically in a chart.
  
  
• Display HTML text   You can store HTML code in fields in your database and display it as formatted HTML text on the page. For example, if a value in a field includes the HTML tag that formats text as italic, <I>Text</I>, you can use a bound HTML control on the page to display the value in italic text.
  
  
• Use familiar design tools   In Design view, create pages using toolbars, the toolbox, themes, and other features that are similar to the tools you use to create forms and reports.
