Publish a data access page to Web Folders or any Web server

Important   A data access page is connected to an OLE DB data source, either a Microsoft Access database or Microsoft SQL Server database. For the page to work properly, the database must be available to users of the page. Learn about sharing the OLE DB data source of a page.

To publish a data access page file by saving it to Web Folders

• When you first create the page, save it to a Web folder underneath Web Folders. If you create the page in a location other than a Web folder underneath Web Folders, you can move the corresponding HTML file and related files and folders by using the Save As command on the File menu in Access. By using the Save As command, you can create a new data access page, and specify a Web folder underneath Web Folders.
