Jouatt Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hi all, So here is what we are trying to accomplish. We currently have a database program run in MS access and want to migrate the front end of that to web based. We want to do this conversion in little steps since the program is big and would take forever to rewrite all the forms in html/PHP. We want to first change the home page. So far we managed to pull data from the MS access back end with PHP into a browser to populate the homepage with data like we want but we are looking for a temporary fix for the rest of the program. We would like if a button from the home page could open a specific Access form from the old front end for the rest of the program. Any ideas on how this could be done via Java Script, PHP, VBS, or anything else?

requinix Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Not really. It would involve making the user download the database file and run it on their machine. Which would require Access. And at that point it's not a web frontend anymore. There is no temporary fix. You are going to end up rewriting all the forms and logic and queries in PHP.
