Developing a User Interface for SQL Server

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

You can develop the user interface for your application in any tool that can connect to and use a Microsoft® SQL Server™ database. However, the easiest user interface to integrate with Workflow Designer for SQL Server is a Web site created using Microsoft® Access data access pages. Data access pages also make it possible for you to take advantage of the built-in functionality of the Office Developer Workflow Toolbar control.

Although you can use any Web development program to create your Web-based user interface, many of the procedures later in this documentation assume Access data access pages are used to create the Web site.

If you are using a template to create your workflow application, a Web site is created for you when you use the SQL Server Workflow Template Instantiation wizard. You can use this Web site as the basis of your new application's user interface.
