    Data Access Pages and Userforms?

    Hi
    Does anyone know the difference between a data access page and a userform in terms of their uses. I have an idea of something I want to build using a userform but think it would be better as a data access page. What would be the disadvantage of using a data access page and can it do all the same things a userform can. If so, then why do we use userforms?

    Thanks.

    Thanks, though is there anything I can't do on a data access page that can only be achieved on a userform.

    Basically I want to build and interface with Embedded linked excel worksheets, textboxes and the usual buttons etc. I think the Data access page would be a much better tool for this because it seems lighter and can be run like a userform.

    Can everything be achieved with a Data Access page.

    Thanks again.

    Thanks for replying.

    So when would a data access page not be a better option than a userform?

    Cheers
