[AccessD] Are DAP's any good?

Thank you everyone for your help. I think I'll steer clear of DAPs

Go with DreamWeaver. Forget about DAPs, they were some marketing guy's
notion, not a developer's notion. "Hey, we could lock in the customer base
using this technology!"

Earth to MS. Later!

"Hard to customize" -- SSH gets the understatement award of the year!

Are DAP's any good?If you're going with a public site, they're not a good
choice. You need IE to be fully interactive. If the client's not IE, the
page may or may not work -- usually you can see the data, but the client
might not be able to interact with it. Of course, if that doesn't matter...

If it's an Intranet and you can control the environment, they're a nice
shortcut if you won't need to custom them. They don't use VBA, so they're
hard to customize.

  I am thinking of using DAP's for a web based input form. However, I see
very little mention of them here. Are they one of those "features" that
sound good on paper but are more trouble to implement then they are worth? I
will be implementing the form on our intranet. All relevant users  have
office, albeit different versions. TIA for any experiences you wish to
share.
