Share the front end of a database on a sharepoint

Post by BittenApple »

Hello team,
I wonder if we can share the front end of a database on SharePoint.
Then where the backend will be saved? on Network driver where all SharePoint users have access?
Please advise me.
Regards,
BittenApple

Each user should have a copy of the frontend database on his/her own PC, not on SharePoint.
Best wishes,
Hans

Hans,
I searched and there was a post on:

https://support.office.com/en-us/articl ... 65c56b018c" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Which talks about Publish a database to a SharePoint site.

Your guidance is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
BittenApple

It would be the backend database that you published on SharePoint. The frontend would still reside on each user's own computer.
Best wishes,
Hans
