New Access Web Seminar!
By Richard Rost   Richard Rost on LinkedIn Email Richard Rost   15 years ago

Attention Microsoft Access Students...

A couple of weeks ago, I asked if any of you would be interested in a seminar covering the transfer of data between Access and the Web.

LOTS of you responded in the affirmative. Since I had another project that required this kind of programming, and so many of you were interested, I recorded a full seminar on exactly how to do this.

If you have a situation where you have a Web server that needs to collect data (customer info, email signups, etc.) that you can then PULL DOWN to your local Access database with one click, then this seminar is for you.

Likewise, if you have the need to PUBLISH data with ONE click TO your Web site (product info, for example) then this seminar is for you.

Finally, if you've ever wanted to use Access as a data collection tool to pull down information from ANY web site, then this seminar is for you. I'll show you how to integrate Access with your Web browser so we can pull down REAL TIME temperature and stock quotes from the Web.

This seminar covers:

- Reading Data from ANY Web Site
- Using the Internet Explorer Control in Access
- Pulling Stock Quotes from the Web
- Setting up an Access Database on your Web Site
- Pull Data from your Web Site
- Post Data back TO your Web Site
- Synchronizing your Web and Local Access Databases

I will show you how to do all of this using Access 2007, 2003, and 2000 (it's pretty much the same in all three versions). For my Web editor, I use FrontPage and Expression Web, but you can use any Web editor you like.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or contact customer support. I will post an OFFICIAL release notice when the seminar is available for purchase. I expect to have it ready in the next day or two. Yes, I will send out email notices to all of my previous Access and ASP students.

Thanks.




Update 6/30/09 3am - I am FINISHED with the lesson videos. I just need to record the intro and review lessons, package the whole thing up, and put it online.

I'm not going to write a FULL handbook for this seminar, but I am going to put together a separate printable guide with some critical screen shots and the source code (there's a bunch of it). I'm also going to include two versions of the database - one for Access 2007 users, and one in Access 2000 format for everyone else.
