How do I convert a form with subforms to an ASP so that I can publish it on the Web?
I have a MSAccess 2003 form that I created and would like to publish as a web page so that users can enter their information and it will update my database. The problem I'm having is when I create the ASP, it only processes my main form, not the subforms that are associated with it. How do I include the subforms, without breaking the relationships? I also noticed that the ASP displays the previously entered data, how can I restrict this to the current user's information only?

Sorry LSM, my bad...I'm new to this, you'll have to bare with me...I meant Data Access Page,not ASP and I will post the 2nd question once I figure this one out. Thanks for the advise.
DAP is a dead technology - matter of fact it was never fully implemented (at least that's what I gather from various newsgroup postings over the years).
It's been removed in 2007, and even MS advises that you move to a web-based language (like ASP.NET, for example) if you need to do this. As I mention earlier, typically a parent/child relationship is represented through either a grid control (if you need to interact with it) or through use of a an HTML Table (if you just need to view it).

I'm not sure what you mean by Grid Control, I would like users to input data to update my Dbase

Sorry, I decided to go with a pdf interactive form, then update a spreadsheet automatically from information submitted on each form.

While your comment may have answered the question, I didn't understand what you meant and asked for clarification. I'm a novice at this and don't expect step by step instructions, so without knowing the depth of explanation I would require, I decided to go with an alternative solution that I could figure out on my own.
Sorry that I missed your followup comments, I answer a lot of questions and sometimes things get dropped off my radar.

I did check the grading topic help before grading. I believe it IS appropriate as explained in the help. Sorry.
Subforms are a technology specific to Access. Generally you'd need to use a grid control of some sort to mimic this type of architecture.
You're asking two questions in one ... that's against EE guidelines. Please post your second question regarding the current user information in a separate question.
You might also include this question in the ASP zone, as the Experts there are MUCH more familiar with ASP coding than would be most of us here in the Access TA. You can ask a moderator to include new zones by posting a question in Community Support, with your request and a link back to this question.
