Hi Susan

The official replacement for AWA is PowerApps:

https://powerapps.microsoft.com

It is severely limited as a programming tool and is not related to Access. It is, in fact, as different as it can be.
Nevertheless, MS tries to push and promote PowerApps, so it could actually represent an option for your small project.

Emne: [dba-Tech] Web app discussion

I have a small Access Web App that I need to convert to something else. For now, using a desktop db is fine. But, I know that others in the organization are eventually start asking for access and I'd like to be proactive about this. "sure. here's a link." instead of "That's going to take some time." 

I have no web development skills. I do have a Sharepoint site (comes with my 365 E3 sub). 

Where do I start? This is a simple tracking app so I don't need a lot - I know that in the db business there's no such thing as "I don't need a lot." but I think you understand. This isn't an enterprise, mission-level db. I'm tracking stuff; that's it. 

I'm glad to learn a new skill, but I need something I can actually learn and implement - I edit web development books and I swear. all the little "things" you have to "just know." are daunting. 

Thoughts?
