Yeah, Azure is basically SQL Server with a customized interface to make it cloud-based. Once it's set up, it's pretty much the same. Every online hosting provider has their own custom interface for setting up and managing the database. For example, I use WinHost, and they've got their own. But once the database is set up, you work with it the exact same way using SSMS, Access, etc.

Thanks Richard...

Most online hosting services like Winhost use the "CPanel" interface to configure SQL Server (see picture below).  Microsoft Azure has its own interface, as Richard said.

Thanks

What might be good is to do a video similar to the SharePoint video.  "I have an Access database where I want to move the tables to Azure cloud/database".  So not a Azure class, but just how do we get this to the cloud and then link those tables back to the Access database.
