Access 2013 lets you create custom apps fast without being a developer. An Access web app is a new type of database that you build in Access, then use and share with others as a SharePoint app in a web browser. To build an app, you just select the type of data you want to track (contacts, tasks, projects, and so on). Access creates the database structure, complete with views that let you add and edit data. Navigation and basic commands are built-in, so you can start using your app right away. Using your SharePoint server or Office 365 site as a host, you’ll be able to build a polished, browser-based database app. Under the hood, Access apps use SQL Server to provide the best performance and data integrity.
- Start creating a custom app from the Welcome screen, or get inspired by one of the new and professionally-designed app templates
- Enjoy support for your existing desktop databases (ACCDB/MDB)
- Take a peek at additional relevant information in the database without changing screens
- Access apps are stored in Microsoft SQL Azure/Server so your data is now protected by disaster recovery and back-up and restore features
- Simply type what you need to track and Access uses table templates to deliver an app that does the job
- Never again get “lost in the data.” A standardised app framework makes navigating apps familiar and easy
- Entering data accurately is a breeze with drop-down menus and recommendations that appear when you begin typing
