Thank you for your prompt response. 

 

That could be a solution, however, had question around how will it work when they need to change or create something?

 

Customer is used to opening access and register what they do, create and delete things, they need a solution that will not be more difficult for them.

 

Can you help please?

 

Thanks!!

    Hi Newlife ,

     

    LIke I said I haven't used it in a while but you used to be able to import the DB to SharePoint and the data could then be updated via a web interface. It will be a different experience for them, whether they view that as more difficult is open to interpretation.

     

    Best suggestion I could give you and what I would do is setup a test site, import the DB, see if you think it is suitable following the instructions in the link and if you think it is a goer then sit down with a suitable user and show them what the option is.

     

    Hope that helps
