Sync SharePoint List with Access

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 17

Hi everyone, 

I've created an app that pulls data from a SharePoint List.

  1. However, this SharePoint List is simply an interface between the app and the real-time database Access.
  2. Currently, we just manually add items to the SharePoint List whenever there are new Access Records 

I'm looking for a way so that this update can be done manually. Anyone has any suggestion?

    I assume you meant "automatically" versus "manually"?

     

    There is not a connector for Access, so I would consider one of two options:

    1) Devise a function in your Access database to push data to SharePoint as needed.

    2) Move your data to SharePoint and use that as the record source in Access.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.

    Hi @RandyHayes 

    • Option 2 is not feasible and It's hard for me to explain without going into details
    • It'd be great if you can elaborate on Option 1. I personally do not have much experience with Access so maybe you can suggest me a path forward.

    Thanks a lot

    Hmmm, I don't have any specific articles to site, but in general, if it was on my plate to deal with (besides moving to SharePoint for the Access data), I would consider writing some VBA code in the Access database that would either be manually selected or somehow automatically triggered, which would iterate through the access tables and then instantiate calls to SharePoint to add the records.  Those last points I'd have to do more searching to find examples of (which there are), but then I could put something together like that.
