John/Steve,
Here's the code I used a while back when I was still developing in Access
97. If I was doing this today I'd probably re-write the code and make it
more modular and use cascading style sheets for formatting.
The basic format for any HTML file is...
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<LINK href="your_style_sheet.css" type="text/css"
rel="StyleSheet">
<script src="your_javascript_code.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
I would not hard-code any javascript or css but instead link to them at
runtime as I've shown above in the <head> section. Pay special attention to
the construct """. In most cases you can use "'" instead.

Subject: Re: [AccessD] HTML from Access Report (was mistakenly stolen
from:Creating HTML file)
Hi Eric,
I guess I'm not after quite the same thing as Steve (so sorry I chimed in on
your thread Steve, I'll rename mine).
I had tried something of this sort with A97 and it didn't work. Now
obviously things have changed a lot since then but could you please
elaborate a bit on this.
What I wish to do is to run a process that creates static html pages from
data stored in the database and places them into a folder (which is used by
FrontPage).
There two approaches I have considered:
Write out a text file and use FP VBA to manipulate it into using the default
css theme.
Or (since I know the css tags) embed the tags directly into the data output
from Access. (I would prefer this as I have no desire to learn FP's object
model, as it is a dead horse now). I was thinking (hoping, really) that I
could do this with a report and use labels (or eventually a lookup table and
text fields) to embed the html/css code. I would then output these reports
to the folder of choice using the windows generic text only printer.
Any thoughts on this?

Steve,
Grab any HTML editor that generates HTML (preferably drag and drop) and
design your page and save it as an HTML file. And then you can open it with
Notepad and use the generated HTML source code.

Subject: [AccessD] Creating HTML file
Hi. I am just about to do something I have never tried before. I need to
create a static web page from Access data. Using OutputTo from a report has
too many problems. Using DoCmd.TransferText acExportHTML doesn't give me
the formatting flexibility that I need. Therefore I've decided to try to
loop through a recordset and build the html file in code. Main problem
being that my html skills are minimal. Has anyone done this type of thing?
Any tips? Thanks.
Regards
Steve
