In this revised procedure I will create the SQLlite (WebSQL) database to hold
the Access query contents and then display them on a web form in a table format.
(don’t be concerned with the colors in the following code:)
Sub GenerateContainmentInspectionsHTML()
'HERE YOU ARE MAKING THE DATABASE FOR THE INSPECTIONS
Dim intRandomDB As Integer
Dim intSeed As Integer
Dim strDB As String
'this is seed value for the RND function's random number generator.
Randomize
'Int ((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
intRandomDB = Int((2500 - 1 + 1) * Rnd(2) + 10)
Debug.Print intRandomDB
strDB = "inspdb" & intRandomDB
strPath = CurrentProject.Path & "\containment_inspections.htm"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM qrySecondaryContainmenttodrain"
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
rst.MoveFirst
Dim objFile As Object

In future posts I’ll be adding functionality to the “Delete” and “Edit” links.
Also, this is a step by step, and I’ll probably be modifying it as I go.
