[AccessD] Access Web app question

[Jim Dettman]

Susan,

 << possible at all? >>

  No.   What you get with the current Web App effort is basic CRUD (Create,
Read, Write, and Delete) of table level data.

  That's about it.  Great for collecting user entered field data, but that's
it.

<<So, I'm wondering if a user could use the Web app to enter data via a
simple input field. Then, is there any way to retrieve/import that data from
the online database into an existing database?>>

 Assuming were talking about Access 2013 and up, yes.   The data is in Azure
(SQL in the cloud) and you can point a traditional desktop app to that
database).

Jim.

For what it's worth, now that I'm actually creating an Access Web app and
not just playing with the interface, I like it despite its limitations.
Right now I'm replacing an old google doc with an app - easy peasy and in
the end, it will be so much easier to use that the google doc I've been
suffering through. 

 

Very nice. 

 

I'm sure I will have lots of questions as I continue. I know that working
with external data is close to impossible - possible at all? I'm wondering
because I can see these apps being a great help to gather information in the
field. So, I'm wondering if a user could use the Web app to enter data via a
simple input field. Then, is there any way to retrieve/import that data from
the online database into an existing database?

Can you integrate a web app with an existing Access database - sending only
specific fields to the Web app for viewing and possible updating?
