  • A really cracy way to bring a access db in the web. Converting from Acccess to ASP/Java/Lists/... and reconvert back to edit. Oh no! If you have a little more complex App, with much VBA?? How can i access a DB over the Web? Is it not possible to have a local Frontend and a Backend DB in the Web with a useable performance. (Data Compressing or Client/Server Logic). So every Access DB could be used over the WEB - without Converting? Access needs no app on the Server, so it is much easier as a solution with SQL Server.

  • @Klaus You can have an app that's more complex with VBA and publish it to SharePoint (As long as the tables are compatibile with SharePoint). The forms/reports will NOT render (be viewed) in the browser but can be run from the Access Rich Client connected to SharePoint.

  • Is it possible to link tables as in Access 2007 in Access 2010 with Sharepoint 2007?

  • Good video tutorial on what's new. Starts out slow but really takes off!

  • @compatibility with sp 2007 Yes you can still create linked tables in Access 2010 to SharePoint 2007

  • Do we need to be running SharePoint 2010 to leverage all the web app functioality of Access 2010? How about SharePoint 2007?

  • I can't see anything! - Where is the video?
