FIGURE 35.27

The new Access Services site

Returning to Access, the next step is to being adding new objects (forms and reports) to the Access

Services database. Users browsing to the Access Services site see the view shown in Figure 35.26,

which is not a useful application at this point. We need the forms and reports the users will work

with and a navigation form to help users select which form or report they want to use.

The first thing to note in Access is that the ribbon has changed (see Figure 35.28). It now displays

a number of buttons and controls for creating and working with Web objects. We can’t directly use

Access client forms in SharePoint, so each form that users need in SharePoint must be created from

scratch.
