appears on the page.A Java applet is a small software program written in the Java language, a programming language used primarily on the World Wide Web. A Java applet is a separate file referenced by an HTML document. A Java applet might be used to add animation, music, database operations, or updates to a Web page. Java was and continues to be developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. When you open a Web page that contains a Java applet in Microsoft Access, an icon representing the applet appears on the page.
The icon does not appear when you view the Web page in a browser or when you print your Web page.
If you are a developer, you can also edit Java applet code.
Be careful when copying and moving Java applets. Although some Java applets are self-contained and work correctly in any location on any Web page, other Java applets are dependent on the structure of the Web page. When copied or moved to another Web page — or to another location on a Web page — these Java applets might not run correctly or might return errors when viewed in a browser.
