Microsoft Access Data Access Pages

A data access page is an HTML page with a default set of elements and controls for displaying data through an HTML browser such as Internet Explorer. Data access pages can also be viewed directly in the Microsoft Access environment. Many of the controls associated with a data access page are supported by the Microsoft Office Web Components, such as the data source control and the record navigation control. These controls support connecting to data and navigating through records. It is also common to find other HTML controls placed on data access pages to support custom functions or Web navigation.

To maintain the basic functionality of a data access page, it is important not to modify the default elements of the page directly in the Microsoft Script Editor. Instead, you can use the Microsoft Script Editor to create or modify scripts associated with events that the elements on the data access page support, or to customize HTML elements or other controls you have added to a page.
