    Post how to set up back end to enable offline work


    Good morning everyone.
    I am fairly new to working with microsoft access and only used it during my internship so far.
    my task is to develop a tool that will help to electronically collect data from some of our operating machines. so basically what is happening is this. in the future the operator will no longer fill out a paper sheet in order to track the Manufacturing process but will just enterthe data into the created access form which will then be uploaded to an excel sheet that is saved on sharepoint.
    now here is my Problem. It might happen that due to some problems the interent connection on our shopfloor will break down. i have come to notice that when this happens so access and sharepoint get disconnected i wount be able to keep working with my application.
    my question is this now. is it possible to add some sort of offline working mode?
    I thought about kind of having a local back end that will for one first step save the data locally then on a timer based event checks if there is a stable wifi connection and copys the data into my linked sharepoint table. but i dont exacly know how this would work.\
    if you have any experience regarding this problem some hints would be most apppreciated for i kind of dont know hoe to pursuit from this point on
    kind Regards
    Fjell

    Please do not post the same question in multiple forums. It will not get you an answer any quicker and might well do the opposite.
