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.

To publish a data access page to any Web server
- Copy the HTML file corresponding to the page and any other related files and folders in Windows Explorer to a folder underneath the root directory of the Web server. The default root directory is \Webshare\Wwwroot for Personal Web Server and \Inetpub\Wwwroot for Microsoft Internet Information Server.
- Copy related files such as graphics, style sheets, linked files, and any folders that may contain these files to the folder, or make sure the related files can be located by the Web server. Learn about managing Web files and links.
