Greetings
I could be totally wrong here but is there anyway this program can take my table and forms from MS Access and publish them on a web site?
I mean so there is no link whatever between the web site and my original MS Access database? You see I just need to run a database on a web site and I need it to be in the same structure as my Access, complete with the forms.
Is this possible or am I askign in the wrong place, or too much of this program? It's very awesome btw.
Thanks
Tee

You are not wrong.
This Development tool can take your MSAccess application to the Web.
But:
Depending on the kind of webserver you will be running some development is needed.
For example if your webserver is a Linux Apache PhP MySQL box, the steps would be:
Using CCS on your local machine:
Develop Webstyle Forms, as the Web function differently from a Windows Box running MSAcces you would have to redevelop all forms/Grids/Report and Menus.
Your MSAccess DB would still be the source for CCS to generate these Forms giving about 80% of the functionality of a standard Datadriven application.
Development and testing can all be done on your desktop.
When happy with the result you then publish the results to your external webserver, after you have (using another tool) exported your data from MSAccess to the SQL Database used on the external system.
This in a nutshell is what the flow of things would be.
So partly yes tou can, partly you need some extra effort.
But, as a developer with no other connections to Yes Software than being a customer, I would say it's the way to go.
I found no better price/performance matching product to accomplish the task at hand.
Don't under or over estimate the power of the tool or your capacities!
It's not a miracle product it's a professional development environment.
Good luck on deciding.

CodeCharge Studio is often used to Web-enable MS Access databases and that's how we use it too. You would use CCS to create Web forms in similar way to creating MS Access forms. There are also various wizards that automatically convert MS Access tables into search, list and maintenance Web pages that read and write data to those MS Access tables.
However, it is not possible to automatically convert and publish MS Access forms to the Web. You would need to re-create those forms using CCS wizards and other program features, similarly as creating them in MS Access. Desktop programs just work differently than Web applications.
