[AccessD] Open Access 2007 forms and reports from Windows SharePoint Services

Hi All,

The following is a citation from MS Access 2007 online help:

<<<
Windows SharePoint Services users can open lists in rich Access views
directly from a SharePoint site. Office Access 2007 forms, reports, and
datasheets can appear listed alongside other views on a SharePoint site.
When you choose an Access view, Office Access 2007 starts and opens the
requested form, report, or datasheet. This makes it easy for you to run a
rich Office Access 2007 report on a SharePoint site without having to first
start Office Access 2007. You can also choose to open a list in Access, and
if a database doesn't exist, it is created automatically and prepopulated
with a set of forms and reports based on your list.
>>

Questions (to Martin probably): 

How this feature works? 
Is the database created "automagically" on client or on server side?
Does MS Access runs embedded in a host application (SharePoint services
client?) or as an independent application?
...

Thank you.
