Data Access Page (User Interface) Guidelines

When developing a data access page user interface for your workflow application, consider the following issues:

  • When creating a data access page for a main or detail table, always bind (set the record source) to the base view and not to the table itself, because row-level permissions can be set only on views. You must specify a unique base table in the properties of the data access page for the view to be updateable.
  • If your workflow application uses row-level permissions, it is up to the workflow application developer to provide a user interface that exposes this feature. The Issue Tracking sample provides HTML pages that can be used as examples.
