We have been receiving more and more requests on the topic of moving existing DESKTOP database applications developed in MS Access to WEB or INTRANET applications created in Alpha Five v9 - so we decided to create a detailed white paper on the topic.

Moving an MS Access database Application to the Web with Alpha Five v9 

 

 

Firstly, let’s briefly cover why you would want to seriously consider moving your MS Application to the web. 

It turns out that the web provides a number of very compelling reasons for doing this.

We will list the key reasons in bullet form:

  • Once the application has been moved to the web, any authorized user can log onto the application from anywhere in the world. Also different permissions and usage privileges can be assigned based on the logon.
  • Users just need to use their web browser (it does not matter if it is IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Netscape or Safari.)
  • Users don’t have to install any software on their computer
  • Users can run the application from any Windows, Linux, Apple Mac computer or even from an Iphone or any Smartphone with a browser, such as the new Android class of phones (the T-Mobile G1 is an example of this)   

For more on the topic of why it makes sense to move MS Access (desktop) applications to the web, please check out this article from Tech Republic

It is worth noting that while “first” generation web applications were often a bit slow, the AJAX technology embedded into Alpha Five v9 allows web applications built in Alpha Five to be very fast and offer a smooth “desktop like” experience to the users.

 

In this white paper, you will learn how to move a Microsoft Access desktop application to the Web with Alpha Five. You'll see how this be accomplished relatively easily,  and when you're done, you'll understand the process well enough to undertake it yourself.
