Hi Shamil

I haven't done so but it looks interesting as the web based Access apps are so limited. This could be the best of both worlds regarding Access desktop applications.

A simpler option is, of course and also noted in one of the comments to the article, to use a "clean" SQL Server account on Azure. 

By the way, can an existing database from a normal SQL Server be exported to SharePoint for the use as the backend to an Access desktop frontend?

 Hi All --

Does anybody use "hybrid" MS Access FE/SQL Azure BE (Office 365) applications in production?

http://www.devhut.net/2014/01/13/how-to-hybridize-your-ms-access-database-in-office-365-azure-database/

I have just followed the referred article's instructions using my Office 365 dev account and I have got a sample "hybrid" database up& running.
And MS Access 2013 .accdb bound forms have read-write access to the linked via 'ODBC;DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 11.0;'  SQL Azure database tables.
I wonder if such .accdb forms can be bound to SQL Azure insert/update/delete stored procedures?

FYI: Here is a good set of information on SQL Azure and MS Access:

Thank you.
