Hi,
I currently utilize my company's LAN structure to run my Access database from. The LAN structure is abhorrently slow. So slow that often the database crashes upon opening or can take many minutes to complete a menial command.
I realize that connecting my database to the internet would be a better solution (as our internet connection seems to work better). This would allow many users to interact with the database more easily as well. I also realize that SharePoint is the standard method of connecting the database either by linking tables or publishing the database itself. However, my company does not have SharePoint and I am tired of battling with them on obtaining it.
Is there another way to connect/link Access tables to the internet without SharePoint? One that is FREE. I know with Access 2003 you could connect Access to an HTML webpage, but I think Microsoft got rid of that functionality with 2010 and beyond to force users into utilizing SharePoint.
I guess it would be nice if I could connect to Google Docs/Drive or some other cloud-based site, but I don't know or think that's possible.
So, any thoughts? (Other than leave my company)
-Thanks
