Sharing and updating an ACCESS database on the cloud
Dear George
Thank you for your reply.
I found a solution where I can store my database on Windows Server located on cloud.
This service company assured me that things should work fine; however, they told me that I have to have a license subscription for Office 365 for each user.
I am not sure why I have to have this when I have Office installed on each user computer.
I guess I have to discuss this with Office 365 technical team.
That is another one of the options, but not the one I'd necessarily select as the first choice.
It's not clear which service you've contacted, but one thing you'll need to be sure of is what they actually offer. Some services actually move the data from the Access accdb into their own proprietary database and replicate the Access interface as web pages. So although it's similar to your current accdb, it's not really Access any longer.
Other services may have other approaches.
Do your due diligence before committing. I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with any of the options. Just that you need to be sure the solution works for your organization in an appropriate, cost-effective way.
Thank you for your useful reply
I will test the offered solution and see what I get.
Best Wishes
