    Anyone using Access frontends w/ SharePoint List backends?

    I took a simple 5 table database and pushed the tables out to a commercially provided SharePoint site as Lists, then linked the Lists as if they were tables. That way I can still run my Access reports while users can modify the data either through the SharePoint site, or through the Access frontend.

    This is great as an "accessible anywhere" client server database app.
    But the Lists are really lightweight compared to the standard Access tables (i.e. - no real relationships, ID field can't be renamed, etc.)

    I was just curious if anyone else has any experience with this.?

    Have you tried right clicking on the column title in sharepoint and choose Edit/Delete Column? When you do this SharePoint takes you to the edit page where you can edit the Column Name and change the type of information that goes into the column (i.e. Single Line Text, Number, Currency). Let me know if this helps

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
