My server-generated HTML files do not appear as expected when I display them in a Web browser.
When you export a datasheet to ASP or IDC/HTX output format, the data that you see when you display the file in a Web browser is the actual data in the recordset behind the datasheet. By default, Microsoft Access saves Text and Memo fields with left alignment and saves all other supported data types with right alignment.
When you export a datasheet, Access does not output OLE objects or the related values from a Lookup field, and ignores the OrderBy, Filter, Format, and InputMask property settings.
If you want the server-generated HTML files to look like the datasheet in an Access database, you can create and export a query that has the same recordset as the datasheet. When you create the query, do the following:
I can't open a file on the Internet.
The file may no longer be available. Check with the Web site administrator for the status of the file.
You may not have the correct permissions to access the file. Check with the Web site administrator to determine the permissions needed to access the file.
You must have access to the Internet ù for example, you could have a modem and an Internet service provider, or you could have access through your corporation's network ù to open files at an FTP site or on the World Wide Web.
If you have Internet access and you still can't open the file, the site may be too busy. Try to open the file later.
I want to open an HTML file in Access, but it opens in another Office program
In the Open dialog box (File menu), when you select an Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file (also called a Web page) and click Open or double-click the file, the file opens in the program that created the file. For example, if you attempt to open an HTML format file that was created in Microsoft Word, the file opens in Word ù not in Microsoft Access as a data access page.
To open an HTML file that was created in another Office program as a data access page in Access, do one of the following:
In Windows 2000 and Windows Millennium Edition:
Right-click the file in the Open dialog box, point to Open with, and then click Microsoft Access on the shortcut menu.
Note If the file type that you are trying to open hasn't previously been associated with another program, instead of pointing to the Open with dialog, click the Open with dialog, and select Microsoft Access from the list of programs.
In Windows 98:
Right-click the file in the Open dialog box, and then click Open in Microsoft Access on the shortcut menu.

I get an error message when I try to import or link to data on a FTP or HTTP
Server
Microsoft Access does not support importing or linking data from a remote FTP or HTTP server. Save the file or HTML page to your hard drive or intranet site, and then import or link the file from there.
