Already exists, it's called Terminal Services..... You can hit it with a web browser, and it does more then just Access! ;) Drew -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 10:32 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] IronSpeed But, if you could "envelope" an mdb within a web browser you could make a TON of money (ie, so much that you have to weight it) Max -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Drew Wutka Sent: 01 February 2009 16:20 To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] IronSpeed Oh, it was WAY complicated. Really fun to make. The part that runs the reports was great for what we needed at my job, but to take it to the next level, of actually running an entire .mdb 'remotely' through the web wouldn't have been worth the effort, not when there are things like Terminal Server /Remote Desktop out there.... It was a lot of fun to make though.

Bit too complicated for me, but sounds good.

Started as a web report runner. It would give you a list of reports in a database (did this back in the 97 days), when you selected a report, it would display any prompts that Access sees (logon prompts, query expression prompts, etc) to the user in their browser, and then when the report ran, it would let the user open it as HTML or download it in any of the formats Access allowed. Worked great. Tried to do the same with forms, and ran into the issue that Access forms are not 'normal' windows. There is only one active control, none of the inactive controls are actual windows (like most controls on normal windows are). Had other projects come up, so I never dug back into it. For S & G's , I put two exe's in http://www.marlow.com/CriteriaGrabber.zip (That link may only be active for a while, we're moving our website soon). One is CriteriaGrabber.exe. Run that program. Open an Access 97 database. Run WindowsInfo.exe, move the mouse over the title bar of the Access Window (the Class should show OMain). Take the hWnd of the Access Window and replace Text1 (in the CriteriaGrabber), then click start timer. Now, whenever a 'popup' window (not a form) is displayed in access, the Criteria Grabber will display it's own 'mimicked' version of that dialogue window, and even 'remotes' it. (ie, if it's a prompt for criteria, you can put the criteria into the 'copy' and click the appropriate button, and it will push that data (and whatever button you pushed) to the actual dialog window. That .exe is just a test I was running, the actual system does something very similar, but sends an HTML version of the dialog windows through to the users. Access 2003 has changed the class names of the dialog windows, so my .exe won't mimic labels or text boxes..... go figure....

It would have been nice to "pop in" an MDB at one end and get "pop out" a Web enabled version at the other. A la PDF-Word converters. Sort of "shell" that the mdb runs in within the browser. Pipe dreams I suppose. Thanks Max On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 9:09 AM, <johncliviger at aol.com> wrote: > Hi Max > > No never used IronSpeed. It looked like hard work.
