Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Moving MS Access Desktop Apps to the Web with Alpha Five v9

    Friday, December 12, 2008
    Going from an MS Access Desktop Application to a Web Application. How can this be done?

    You have an existing MS Access Desktop Application and you want to have a Web Application to replace it. Can this be done?

    We are getting more and more of these requests daily. So we hired a technical author to write a white paper on the topic.

    Moving an MS Access database Application to the Web with Alpha Five v9

    Firstly, let�s briefly cover why you may want to seriously consider moving your MS Application to the web. It turns out that the web provides a number of very compelling reasons for doing this. We will list the key reasons in bullet form:

    * Once the application has been moved to the web, any authorized user can log onto the application from anywhere in the world. Also different permissions and usage privileges can be assigned based on the logon.
    * Users just need to use their web browser (it does not matter if it is IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Netscape or Safari.)
    * Users don�t have to install any software on their computer
    * Users can run the application from any Windows, Linux, Apple Mac computer or even from an Iphone or any Smartphone with a browser, such as the new Android class of phones (the T-Mobile G1 is an example of this)

    For more on this topic check out http://downloads.techrepublic.com.co...x?docid=353589

    In addition, while �first� generation web applications were often a bit slow, the AJAX technology embedded into Alpha Five v9 allows web applications built in Alpha Five to be very fast and offer a smooth �desktop like� experience to the users.

    In this white paper, you will learn how to move a Microsoft Access desktop application to the Web with Alpha Five. You'll see how easy it can be, and when you're done you'll understand the process well enough to undertake it yourself.

    To get a pre-publication version of the white paper email [email protected] and we will get you the whitepaper right away.
