AutoPage creates a data access page that contains all fields (except fields that store pictures) and records in the underlying table, query, or view.

  1. In the Database window, click Pages aa207782(v=office.10).md under Objects.

  2. Click the New button on the Database window toolbar.

  3. In the New Data Access Page dialog box, click AutoPage: Columnar. In the finished data access page, each field will appear on a separate line with a label to its left.

  4. Click the table, query, or view that contains the data you want to base your page on.

  5. Click OK.

    If the resulting page doesn't look the way you want, you can modify the page in Design view.

Notes  

  • Microsoft Access applies the default theme to the page. If you haven't set a default theme, then Access uses the Straight Edge theme.

  • When you create a page by using AutoPage, Microsoft Access automatically saves the page as an HTML file in the current folder, and adds a shortcut to the page in the Database window. Rest the pointer over the shortcut in the Database window to display the path to the file.
