Using Web Browser Controls

Access 2010 includes a new control type, called a web browser control, which you can use on both web forms and client forms in your database. A web browser control displays the content of web pages directly inside a form. You can use a web browser control, for example, to display a map of an address stored in a table. You can optionally bind the web browser control to a field in your form’s record source by using the Control Source property of the control. You can also use a web browser control to display a static web page, such as a link to a specific website (for example, http://www.AccessJunkie.com), or you can use a web browser control to display a video hosted on a web page.
