how to connect ms access database to html webpage

0

You need to use a server side programming language like ASP to do this. HTML cannot access a database itself.

You have to save the file with .asp extension for the IIS server to interpret it correctly. Also it would be helpful if you post the output you are currently getting, as most probably you giving incorrect path for your access file.

<%@ page import="java.sql.*"%>
<%
var LastName; 
var Firstn = names.value ; 
var cn = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection"); 
//here you must use forward slash to point strait 
var strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:/clientDB.mdb"; 
var rs = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Recordset"); 
//var SQL = "INSERT INTO Customers(FirstName, Surname)" 
//+ " VALUES ( '"+ names.value +"', '" + surname.value +"')"; 
var SQL = "select Surname, DOB from Customers where FirstName = '" + Firstn + "'"; 
cn.Open(strConn); 
rs.Open(SQL, cn); 
surname.value = rs(0); 
DOB.value = rs(1); 
//alert(rs(0)); 
rs.Close(); 
cn.Close();
}

Use the "Save as web page" option in the File menu.

Notice that html can't access a spreadsheet on your computer. You have to upload the changed web page after any changes to the spreadsheet.

You are able to connect to Microsoft Access using JavaScript when the HTML file is run locally and the Access .mdb file is accessible to the file system it does not work remotely due to the obvious security issues.

I had a situation where this functionality was actually useful, so I wrote a JavaScript library to simplify the process. This library allows you to execute SQL queries in a single command with the option of selecting the output format of the result-set from choices including JSON, XML, and HTML.

I had a great deal of difficulty finding information or examples of how to connect to Access, so I decided to share my code with the world...

The library is called ACCESSdb and you can get it here !

Hi,

I am creating something similar as discussed above.

I have a access database which has the list of banking centers and their hours of operation ,Monday -Sunday.

Now, i have created a html page, asking the user to select the state from a drop down menu, and the day as checkbox. So that when I click on "Submit Query' button, it gives me all the banking centers of that state open on Monday and at which time.

I want to link this HTML.html file with my access table.
Also, i want to have a out put screen in html/access form which shows the result.

Appreciate, what all you can make available.

Thanks

If you are targeting Explorer only
you can always use a super lightwieght DSO to access data
go to MSDN and search for "Data Source Object" you'll find all that you need.

Just use the "Save as web page" option in the File menu.

Thanks for the help.

But I had a query, where the database connection specified here, is FOR A sql SERVER .

var strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:/clientDB.mdb"; 
var rs = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Recordset");

Now , do I have to configure my Access Database in someway?

Here is my HTML Code:

<head>
Select STATE: <SELECT NAME="entry4">
<OPTION VALUE="no1">STATE
</SELECT>
<form>
MONDAY
<input type="checkbox" />

TUESDAY
<input type="checkbox"/>

WEDNESDAY
<input type="checkbox"/>

THURSDAY
<input type="checkbox"/>

FRIDAY
<input type="checkbox"/>

SATURDAY
<input type="checkbox"/>

SUNDAY
<input type="checkbox"/>
</form> 
To submit the query, press: 
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit Query">. <P>
</head>
<html>
  <head>
    <h1>Accessing Data through HTML and Access</h1>
  </head>
  <body>
    Looking at Excel Web Components to create a DAP
  </body>
</hmtl>

The idea is to select teh state and day

I have a ACCESS DB, which has all the details of a partuclar state and its working hours.

Need help in connecting both of them.

Thank You

Hi Guys,

Here is the same code in javascript and it works 100%. I'm so proud...:'(

<html> 
    <head> 
        <title>Entitled Document</title> 
        <script language="JavaScript"> 
        function getSubmit() 
	{ 
	var LastName; 
	var Firstn = names.value ; 

 
            	var cn = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection"); 
            	var strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = ClientDB.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"; 
            	cn.Open(strConn);
		var rs = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Recordset"); 
		var SQL = "select Surname, DOB from Customers where FirstName = '" + Firstn + "'";

		rs.Open(SQL, cn); 
		surname.value = rs(0); 
		DOB.value = rs(1); 
            	rs.Close(); 
            	cn.Close();   
        }
