Cannot Edit Microsoft Access 2016 file (accdb) in Sharepoint!
Hi there,
We have an Access database saved in a SharePoint 2016 document library. It opens as read-only from this location and if we wish to make changes it needs to be re-saved as a new file ...
This behavior is just normal since for SharePoint, en Access Database is just a file that you cannot work with in the same way you can do with a Word, PowerPoint or Excel document so you need to re-save each time you want to do something. SharePoint 2016 still provides Access Services so I recommend you to explore the possibilities this service can bring to you when working with Access in SharePoint
Thanks Juan. In our SharePoint, I cannot see any Access Services. I would appreciate it if you can explain more, please.
I searched further, and could see that there is a setting that admin could do that. Is that the possibility that you mentioned.
Thanks
