Data Access Pages: What they are and how to create one - DAP properties from the DAP Design

(Page 5 of 6 )

You could review some of the properties of the DAP by looking at the properties. This is achieved by right clicking an empty area on the DAP page and clicking on properties. You can open the page in design mode by highlighting this DAP and clicking Design in the main menu. This opens up both the GUI as well as the Field List shown earlier. This is shown in the next montage. You can access field list, page properties, group level properties, and element properties. You can also make changes to page color and Font adjustments.

Clicking on Page Properties, and clicking on the connection string ellipsis button in the Data tab therein reveals the following picture. The connection can even be tested here. The data provider is the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OleDB. You could design both the interface as well as the fields that are chosen. The DAP design page has a structure to it. The pop-up properties are context dependent, and you should exercise caution.
