Most of you are already aware that Access 2010 lets you create "web-enabled" databases that can be published to a SharePoint server that is running Access Services. Of course, many of you don't have such a server just sitting around, so that's where hosting services such as AccessHosting.com come in. They have their own blog where you can learn more about the service.

AccessHosting has announced some improvements for 2011, such as a new control panel for administration of account passwords, support for SharePoint Designer outside of Access Web Databases, and the "Access Services 2010 Virtual Appliance" which provides a turnkey cloud-based solution for customers requiring dedicated server performance and features. All their plans are offered on a free trial basis for 30 days, so if you've never clicked the Publish to Access Services button, you should give it a try. More information about web-enabled databases is also available in the Office.com article Build an Access database to share on the Web.

  • Hi Guys, I have created about 4000 Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows help video-clips and was wondering if these would be usefull in same way within the Office blog.  If you think the idea has merit contact me. To view some samples check out our Mhelp2U channel on YouTube.

  • Hi!, i'm new to MSA 2007. I have this database used to track work progress of our products. I already made the database except the image preview, I'm able to embed images but it makes my database file really huge so I was hoping to find a way to generate an image preview in the form by defining the preferred image actual link/location shared on a network. Also it will let me view the actual file by double clicking the image preview.

    I would really appreciate anyones help...

    Thanks

  • Hi  John, use the new attachment data type for the field containing the images.

  • I have tested uploading an MS Access table to Sharepoint and it works well. I plan to try getting a Sharepoint list into MS Access next. Some great features in Access 2010 for sure.
