New! Access 2013 Web Apps!
• What is an Access Web app?– created in Access 2013 or SharePoint 2013
– deployed to SharePoint 2013
– available to users via a common browser
To create an Access Web app…
• Start Access 2013– Choose Custom web app or– Choose nonDesktop (Desktop = traditional)
templateor

existing desktop database to an Access Web app
An Access Web app is not...
• …an Excel or Word Office app• Insert tab, Apps for Office
An (Access) Web app is….
• A fully functional database application– Tables– Queries– Forms– Reports– Macros (recall Macros in 2010 were improved)– (not modules, no VBA)
(I wish they would have called it a Web database)
An (Access) Web app requires….
• SharePoint Server 2013• SQL Server 2012 • Configure Access Services
SharePoint 2013 – Access Services
(Access) Web app progression…
• Access 2007, 2010 had the ability to share tables, forms through SharePoint, .accdb
• Access 2013 web app file = .accdw (uses SQL Server 2012 for tables)
– Complete Web-deployable database / application
– Hybrid databases still have .accdb extension• “desktop” vs. “web” icons in database file
