    Question How can I make my database be seen/accessed online by third parties? (SharePoint or Azure)

    To keep it short, I designed an Access based program for educational institutions to administrate their institutions (enrollment, finances, etc).



    The institutions are now asking for some sort of web access for students where they can see their grades / enroll / etc.

    How can I make parts of the database seen in a text/web based interface? Can I do this with SharePoint and/or Azure? And how would I go about creating a system to let them enroll / pay and such? A system where students enter a username and password to access their particular data?

    I would appreciate the help so much. God bless.

    Never done this and I'll probably do It sometimes, but I think It can be done in same principle as other web applications that retreive data from DB. Access is DBMS as Oracle,SQL etc...So, HTML &Javascript coding, that's how I would begin.

    As I'm aware this is available only for Access 2013 or later versions.

    I getcha bud.

    I am reading as much as I can. I will try several things that I have in mind. If I get to find a solution, I'll post it on this very thread as detailed as I can to help others out who might need to do it in the future as well. Thanks for your time, it is truly appreciated.

    For Web Access of Access Applications. I usually Make a webservice(asmx) that consumes the database and provides the data at that layer. then Consume with Ajax. I have a halfass example of how to do this in the examples section.
