Never heard of it till your post. It appears to ONLY do HTML, using a bunch of wizard type interfaces. They do have a FAQ on converting from Access. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/pdf/access_to_ htmldb.pdf They say its for programmers and non programmers!!! Just like Access ;-))) "Currently there is no utility to convert an entire Microsoft Access application to an Oracle HTML DB application. Since Microsoft Access creates Microsoft Windows-based applications, many components do not translate directly into a Web application. There is, however, a data migration utility called Oracle Migration Workbench. Oracle Migration Workbench simplifies the process of migrating database systems, like Microsoft Access, to the Oracle database. Using Oracle Migration Workbench you can migrate data and database objects, such as tables, views, indexes and constraints, to an Oracle database. Once the data and database objects are in an Oracle database and HTML DB is installed, it is easy to turn these objects into a Web application, allowing users to access and manipulate the data." I've used the migration workbench, it was not easy to setup but I got the Oracle DB built in the end... This was a couple of years ago... cheers Michael M My company is moving to replacing Access97 with Oracle HTML DB. Can anyone comment on the pros or cons of Oracle HTML DB? Does anyone know how easy it is to migrate existing Access97 data across and how easy is it to learn to set up front ends in the Oracle environment? I am self taught on Access97 and understand nearly all of the discussion on this list.
