Chapter 35: Deploying Access Applications to SharePoint


1167


At this point, Access Services has accepted all the tables, queries, and other schema objects and has
converted them to SharePoint analogs. The forms, reports, and other objects are moved to the
SharePoint site but are not converted to Web versions. We can verify the presence of the new
Access Services site by going to SharePoint and opening All Site Content view (see Figure 35.26).
The All Site Content page is opened by clicking on the All Site Content link in the SharePoint
Navigation Pane.

FIGURE 35.26

The All Site Content view in SharePoint shows the new Access Services site.

New Access Services site

Clicking the MyPublishedSite link opens a SharePoint view of the site (see Figure 35.27). Note the
upsized Access tables in the top portion of the screen and the migrated Access forms and reports in
the lower area. SharePoint users could open any upsized Access tables, but the forms and reports
are still client-side objects and remain in the Access .accdb file. Client-side objects are not usable
in the SharePoint environment. You must use the create and publish new Web versions of the
forms and reports you intend for your users to work with in SharePoint.
