wsh - Page display in the browser
(Page 4 of 4 )
Open the page in IE6.0 (here IE6.0 is available and therefore used) from its location in C:\Documents and Settings\computer user\Desktop\Nov7\DAP3\PDAP.htm. The display of this page in the browser is as shown in this picture. An Enter Parameters window pops up with just one parameter, CustomerID. There is a text box where you can enter the value of the parameter.
Now enter a CustomerID, say, 'DUMON' (I remember this because I have seen the table) for the parameter value column which is showing a text box and click OK. The page will display as shown below (I have expanded the Company Name node for this picture).
Hosting the page on the intranet
Upload the PDAP.htm file to the intranet's root folder, or copy this page and paste it in the root folder. It will be available for the intranet users. The next display shows the same page as seen at the URL, http://localhost/PDAP.htm. However you get two warnings, as shown in the next two pictures.
If you click OK to accept to display, you get the final page displayed, which pops up the same Enter Parameter value dialogue. If you enter the CustomerID value, you get the page displayed.
Summary
If the parametric query is working correctly, turning it into a Data Access Page is quite simple using the PageWizard. You may experience some problems with hosting it on the intranet, mostly due to permission- and data provider-related problems. The values for the parameters you enter are not case sensitive. The web pages created in this tutorial are functional, but you may have to work on them to make them aesthetically pleasing. However, Data Access Pages are RAD at its best.
