I'm not really sure what you're referring to as a "page" in Access.

"Page" is how Access refers to the individual tabs within a tab control, but
you can't use a tab control without a form.

"Page", of course, is also related to reports.

Finally, Access deals with 4K "Pages" of memory.

Doug,

I think the OP is talking about Data Access Pages.
Answer (IMHO) - Use Forms unless you are trying to implement an inter or
intra net solution. And then, there are better tools for this than Access.

Jeez, a fourth possibility I didn't even consider.

Thanks, Dave.
