kalmstrom.com CEO Peter Kalmstrom is an expert on both SharePoint
and Access. In this demo he shows how to link data from
a SharePoint list to an Access table and how to work
with the live data in Access.
Peter uses SharePoint and Access 2010, but it works in a
similar way in SharePoint and Access 2013.
By linking SharePoint data to Access and work with it there,
it is possible to use Access functionality that is
not available in SharePoint. What you do with the SharePoint
data in Access is automatically reflected back to the SharePoint
site.
Peter explains how to get the SharePoint list items into
the Access table, and after that he gives some examples
on what you can do easily in Access that is hard or impossible
to manage in the SharePoint site.
Search and Replace live SharePoint
list items by using Access
Create Access Queries for use on live SharePoint
list items
Create Access Forms and use them with live
SharePoint list items
Create and Print Access Reports from live
SharePoint list items
Use Visual Basic in Access on live SharePoint
list items
In the demo Peter shows how to link to Access via the SharePoint
list datasheet view.
You may also go the opposite way, from Access
to SharePoint. In that case, open Access and create
a table. Then link the table to SharePoint via the Access
External Data tab:
