I have an MS Access 2016 Database linked to a SharePoint list , users will many times work on the access database offline thus catch changes locally, when online again, user has to manually click reconnect to tables as showing in picture 1<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2018/11_w47/1404233/Untitled-picture1.png" target="_blank" title="picture 1: reconnect tables (6 KB)"><img alt="picture 1: reconnect tables" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 339px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2018/11_w47/1404233/Untitled-picture1.png" /></a> :<br />

I am thinking use VBA to automate this two manual steps, for instance, auto-connect tables and sync database on open, or similar solutions, i thought this would be straightforward because many users need this as Access is a good offline front-end solution for server database, however I have not got any useful information on internet yet.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework.
