MS Access?

MS Access?
Hey guys,

I'm creating a database with Microsoft Access 97 that is storing information on various baseball websites across the net, and I'm planning to make it available on my site for download, as well as to post it on my site using DBMan, so that people can view it without having to download the file (or without having to own Access)...

Anyway, I was wondering if there was anyway I can update/add to the database in Access and have it change in DBMan? I doubt this is possible but if it is I'd be thrilled Smile

You can export an Access database into DBMan format. Or at least you can export an Access table into DBMan format. As long as all of your information was in one table in Access, I don't see that there would be a problem.

Make sure that your NULL fields and structure are EXACTLY the same in both the Access table and DBMAN file. One of the problems that we are ironing out is exporting an Object Access table into a CLEAN format that will work properly with the DBMAN program. The data manager working on the Object Access form has left out NULL fields (| |), which corrupts the records in DBMAN.

Regards,
