Access & DiscountASP

Have you watched the tutorial videos at www.asp.net?

 

I've created this post to find help using Access with DiscountASP.net
I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition.

I have the ability to create an Access database, and manipulate data with forms & reports.
I would like to eliminate using forms and reports in exchange for asp.net pages over the web.

I've uploaded an Access 2002-2003 .mdb file to the _database folder using FTP.

I've been successful in pulling a table from the database, using gridview but that's it.
And I would like to create a login screen as well using the users table from the database.

Any pointers would be helpful... thank you.

If you are going to upgrade to .Net, Visual Studio 2005 has report viewer which comes with Visual Studio. I mainly see it being used to pull reports from SQL servers but it should also pull data from Access. Also if you are planning to migrate to .Net it is always wise to upsize to a SQL server. There are alot of benefits both performance and features that Access cannot provide with .Net applications.
