Remember that you can only use other fields from the same table as data sources for the calculation. You can use an expression to validate input for most fields.
You can also use an expression to validate input for a table, which can be useful if you want to validate input for a field that does not support validation, or if you want to validate field input based on the value of other fields in the table. For a more thorough explanation of validation, see the article Restrict data input by using a validation rule. You can also specify the message that is displayed when a validation rule prevents input, known as a validation message.
Use the Expression Builder to create your validation rule. Type the message that you want to display when input data is not valid, and then click OK. You can use a record validation rule to prevent duplicate records, or to require a certain combination of facts about the record are true, such as [Start Date] is greater than January 1, , and less than [End Date].
To create a relationship in a web database, you use the lookup wizard to create a lookup field. The lookup field goes in the table that is on the many- side of the relationship, and points to the table that is on the one- side of the relationship. On the Fields tab, in the Properties group, click Modify Lookups. You can implement cascade updates and deletes by using data macros.
You can use commands on the Table tab to create embedded macros that modify data. The following video shows you the basics. For more information about creating data macros, see the article Create a data macro. You can use a query as the data source for forms and reports. Queries run on the server, helping minimize network traffic.
For example, suppose you use a web database to track charitable contributions. You want to see who donated money while an event was occurring. You could use a query to select the data and prepare it for use in forms and reports. Note: This procedure uses the charitable contributions template as an example. You can follow along if you create a new database by using the charitable contributions database template. On the Create tab, in the Queries group, click Query.
In the Show Table dialog box, double-click each table that you want to include, and then click Close. Create any required joins by dragging fields from one object to another in the query design window. Add the fields that you want to use.
You can drag the fields to the grid, or you can double-click a field to add it. Forms are the main way to enter and edit data in your web database, and are also useful for reviewing data. Forms run in the browser, helping optimize performance.
When you open a form, your browser retrieves the required data from the SharePoint server. You can filter and sort the data in the form without having to retrieve data from the server again. Tip: For best performance, limit the records retrieved by your main forms and reports.
Note: If you want to create an unbound form, skip this step. On the Create tab, in the Forms group, click one of the following buttons:. Form Create a simple form that shows one record at a time, using the object you selected as a data source. Note: If you are creating an unbound form, this button is not available. Multiple items Create a form that shows multiple records at a time, using the object you selected as a data source.
Blank form Create a form that has nothing on it. Datasheet Create a form that looks and behaves like a datasheet, using the object you selected as a data source. Reports are the main way to review or print data from your web database. Reports run in the browser, helping optimize performance. When you open a report, your browser retrieves the required data from the SharePoint server.
You can filter and sort data in the report without having to retrieve data from the server again. On the Create tab, in the Reports group, click one of the following buttons:. Report Create a basic report using the object you selected as a data source. Blank Report Create a report that has nothing on it. People need a way to navigate your application. Remember — the Navigation Pane is not available in a web browser.
For people to use your database objects, you must provide them a means. You can create a Navigation form and specify that it be displayed whenever someone opens your application in a web browser. Tip: You might want to wait until last to create your Navigation form, so that that you can add all your objects to the form when you create it.
In the Forms group, click Navigation , and then select a navigation layout from the list. Note: You can only add forms and reports to a Navigation control. Add any other controls that you want to the body of the Navigation form. For example, you might want to provide search functionality across all forms by adding some controls to your Navigation form. On the File tab, under Help , click Options.
Under Application Options , click Web Display Form , and then select the form that you want from the list. Note: You do not have to select your navigation form as the web display form. You can specify any web form. You can watch a video of this process in the Overview section. Click Run Compatibility Checker. The compatibility checker helps you make sure that your database will publish correctly.
If it discovers any issues, you should address them before you publish. Each row in the table contains a link to troubleshooting information. In the Site Name box, type a name for your web database. After you make design changes or take a database offline, you eventually want to synchronize. This is a Windows service that runs on servers that enables multiple users to connect to Access running on that server using remote control software. A hosted remote desktop service for Access is a managed service that lets you install Access on cloud hosted servers so lots of people can connect and use the Access application over the internet.
Microsoft Access is a database application that enables anyone to very quickly create simple and highly functional databases, and skilled developers to create very professional and robust applications. Microsoft Access is used by millions of companies worldwide as a cost effective way of creating bespoke line of business applications. No, Microsoft have recently communicated that they are committed to Microsoft Access for the long term.
Very much so. There are no online or web based database applications that come close to the functionality and flexibility of Microsoft Access. Using a hosted remote desktop services enables Access to be run in the cloud to get the best of both worlds, the flexibility and scalability of cloud and the feature rich functionality of Access.
There are hundreds of thousands of Access developers around the globe which means that it is very easy to get support for an existing database application if a developer stops supporting it or retires. Yes, Microsoft support Access in exactly the same way as they do other Office applications. There is also a vast community support base, great for getting hints on using code. Not in the same way that there is an online version of Word, Excel or Outlook. However, by running Access on a hosted remote desktop service you can connect to that using a Mac and run Access as if it was installed on your device.
