asked on

access apps on sharepoint

has anyone every attempted to store an access application in a document management system such as sharepoint? My initial reaction was 'that would never work', but our IT are trying to migrate data from  traditional file servers to sharepoint, but I wanted some insight into will an access application ever work in a system like sharepoint, or access databases accessed by numerous staff work in general? I am hoping the answer is no so I can suggest it isnt worth even investigating.

You can design Access systems that store data on Sharepoint lists, but that's about the extent of it (and most experienced Access devs will advise you to stay far, far away from that scenario).

But as Gustav said, you can't run an Access app from a Sharepoint location. You'd have to download the "document" (the Access app) and run it locally.
