    Thumbs up HELP with sharing Access Database on Web Server 2012 (IIS)

    Please bare with me here as this is the first time I have attempted this. Your time and help will be truly appreciated.

    What I have done already:

    - Turned the server into a web server (IIS)

    I can access it now locally and via the internet. There is a default website that was created which is a Welcome page that reads "Internet Information Services".

    What I want to accomplish:



    - Be able to make my Access Database available online so others can access it as well, so my program becomes web based.

    I tried using Share > Publish To Access Services > Inserted the URL of my server but it said URL not found. (Which leads me to believe of course there is a procedure required to be able to use this feature?)

    What I'm confused about:

    - Could someone list which steps to follow now?

    ( Install Sharepoint Server 2013? Does installing it create the proper infrastructure to support and display the database? How to make a web page that I can use in "Public To Access Services" that will be recognized? )
    I just need some guidance with the steps to take and I'll do my best in figuring things out once I see the path I need to follow.

    Thank you.

    you are in non-supported never-never land.... to build a web app to run on IIS you must use the ASP.net development tool - not Access. The Access web feature set is available in Access 2013 and is platformed on SharePoint which can either be installed locally or using Microsoft's 365 cloud service.

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