Main Page

This wizard uses data from a table or view to create an HTML document. You can use or share the file that the Web Publishing wizard creates in your browser or edit it in a text editor.

To access the Web Publishing wizard

  • From the Tools menu, choose Wizards, and click Web Publishing.

In the Web Publishing wizard, you can specify the layout for data as well as the layout and style of the head and body of the HTML page. You can use the default layouts and visual styles that come with the wizard or customize those layouts and styles. In addition, you can load an existing cascading style sheet (.css) file.

Step 1 – Select Fields

In this step, you can choose a free table or a table within a database as the source for your Web page. You can select fields from only a single table or view.

To select the fields for your Web page

  1. Use the Databases and Tables controls to locate and select the table you want to use.

  2. In the Available fields list box, select one or more fields you want to use from the selected table, and use the arrow buttons to move them to the Selected fields box.

Step 2 – Sort Records

This step makes it possible for you to specify one or more fields by which to sort the records in your Web page.

Choose up to three fields or an index tag that already exists in the database to determine the order in which your view results will be sorted. Select Ascending or Descending to determine the order of the sort.

Use Remove to eliminate a field from the sort list.

Step 3 – Choose Style
