Web-enabling Access applications that have been migrated to Oracle

First, use the Scriptoria Create Oracle Application to adapt the Access front-end to operate with the remote Oracle database.

 

To provide centralized distribution, and ultimately web-enable the application, the newly created Access database file is first copied to an Internet site. A "menu" page may be setup that contains links to one or more web-enabled Access application files. Now that the Access file contains no data (only links to the Oracle database), it is small and can be downloaded quickly. We actually recommend creating an MDE file from the MDB created by Scriptoria; this produces a compiled application and reduces file size. You can also create "run-time" versions of the converted Access application that do not require Access to be installed. (Requires Office 2000 Developer).

 

To download and operate the web-enabled Access application, users must have:

 

If the Oracle database is cataloged using TCP/IP then the application can be operated from anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection.
