Access SharePoint Seminar

There is a Access SharePoint Seminar but otherwise it's not really covered. SQL server is a far superior solution imo.

Access on SharePoint is bad news. As Adam said putting your database on an SQL server is a far superior solution.

I've said this in my courses. I do have a SharePoint seminar available, as both Sandra and Adam have said. It's good, but I only recommend SharePoint for organizations that already are using SharePoint, and that's what they tell you that you have to use. If you have a choice, SQL Server is much, much better. I just started an SQL Server course. Like Adam and Sami both said, SQL Server is the far superior option, especially with working with SharePoint or with Access. SharePoint has a lot of limitations, so unless you really have to use that, then I'd recommend SQL Server.

I have used SharePoint as my backend for almost two years without any issues. I had a split database locally and then moved the backend to SharePoint and linked to the SharePoint lists. I do not recall exactly but I believe you can export the backend. In SharePoint you need to make sure your shares are set up properly. I am working on moving to a SQL Server as it is much better for the backend. I use SharePoint for documents as the security I need is available by default with SharePoint.

Thank you all for your input!  I greatly appreciate it.  I am trying to talk my management into moving to a SQL server and have started Richard's SQL Server course.  I truly appreciate your time and advice.
