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.
