Access and SharePoint Integration May Be Broken
I am posting this here in the hopes that a Microsoft MVP or employee may see it, verify the issue, and report it to the right people at Microsoft. We have a fairly significant LOB application with the front-end hosted in Access and the back-end hosted in SharePoint Online lists. This application has been working well for several years. Sometime in the past few weeks (last known good date was June 23), a change in either Access or SharePoint (or maybe the Windows OneDrive sync client) seems to have broken integration between the products. When the modern cache format is enabled (the default), all SharePoint calculated columns unexpectedly show errors, as shown here (in a fresh database where I imported just one list from our site as a test): Naturally, this completely borks the application, with VB code throwing errors at startup. Using the legacy cache format, or disabling caching altogether, seems to restore functionality--(though this would come at a cost to performance): But there is a major caveat to this. Other functionality is apparently broken. We have straightforward update queries, for example, the hang indefinitely in these modes, rendering this an unacceptable work-around. I have been able to replicate this on several different PCs. Also, on several different SharePoint sites in our tenant. Currently, this is blocking work for us, and we are hoping to see it resolved as soon as possible. If anyone with knowledge of the right people at Microsoft to call attention to this, we would be grateful for any help. I am using the Access forum because the last time I tried to get help from SharePoint Online support for an Access-related query issue using SP list data, they had no idea what I was talking about. (Also, for Access database experts: please do not suggest that we avoid using calculated columns in SharePoint lists. This is a hybrid app with most of our users working with data strictly through SharePoint, and SharePoint views do not support the same features as queries do in Access. Making use of these SharePoint features are essential for these users.) Our Access version: Microsoft® Access® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2607 Build 16.0.20228.20124) 64-bit Thank you in advance for any help.
Query failure in Windows 11
Hi I just had a new computer at work, and changed from windows 10 to windows 11. I have a query, which compare 2 tables, and add rows in table2 that dont exits in table1. This has been working for years, but now it, only sometimes, double all the rows. INSERT INTO MPS Columns from Table2 (Access linked to sharepoint) SELECT MPS2. Columns from table1 FROM MPS2 WHERE not exists (Select 1 from MPS WHERE MPS.[MPSid] = MPS2.[MPSid]); It compares a unik field MPSid It doubles the rows sometimes, and the MPSid is the same, in the doubled rows Has something changed, or is there a workaround? Best Regards Tony
New User - Looking for best option to share Access DB front-end using MS Teams
Office 365 Cloud Based - Sharepoint, MS Teams, MS Access - Windows 11 server (not dev.). I'm building a database in Access to store various document names and their corresponding processing instructions. I would like Team/Channel members to have permission-based access through the Teams app to be able to perform certain actions. At lowest level permissions, access means the ability to use the database through Teams to search for a given document name to retrieve the processing instructions for their level. At the highest permissions level, access means being able to make changes to select tables in the database. They may add/mod/delete the Document Names and the corresponding processing instructions. Can someone please help me with it? I don't want to spend too much time building out the database if it can't be used as an information resource for everyone. I would be grateful for any assistance, including a point toward good information that might help a novice like me to understand how to best accomplish this? All other users on our network (also Team members on my Channel) have the same software that I do, including those designated as Team Owners. Please let me know if any needed information is missing. Thanks in advance for your assistance!! :)
Linking Access to Excel does not work
I have created a simple Access that is connected to a linked table to an Excel file as a data source. I can run the Access without any problems. It accesses the data and everything is fine. But when my colleague wants to run the Access, she gets the following error message "Microsoft Access “C:\Users\User\ [Source Path] .xlsx” is not a valid path. Please ensure that the path is entered correctly and that you are connected to the server where the file is located." We use OneDrive/SharePoint in our company and the colleague has access to the folder where the Excel and Access files are located. But it doesn't work. I think it's the path, as it seems to be local. But I don't understand why. This Access in turn serves as a source for another Excel (the target file). There it has a similar error message: ‘’Microsoft Excel [DataFormat.Error] “ [File Name] .accdb” is not a valid path. Please ensure that the path is entered correctly and that you are connected to the server where the file is located." I can open and run both the Access and the target Excel without any problems. Thanks a lot in advance. I appreciate your help a lot.

Microsoft Office 2019 is out! Microsoft started the roll-out today of Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows & Mac – with major updates to Access, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Project, Visio, and Publisher – to commercial volume license customers. Microsoft is following up with Office 2019 releases to consumers and other business customers, as well as SharePoint / Exchange / Skype / Project Server 2019 releases, in the coming weeks. Office 2019 provides a subset of features Microsoft has added to Office 365 over the past three years. As Office 2019 is a one-time release, Office 365 is still the better choice with not only far more features (Co-Authoring, etc) unavailable in Office 2019, but also far earlier access to them than on-premises, non-subscription Office 2019, etc. editions. Speculation has been that Office 2019 may be the last perpetual license (on-premises / non-subscription) release of Office, so that Microsoft can focus in on its Office 365 subscription offerings. However, Microsoft has responded in one case that there is likely to be one more perpetual license release after this one. Either way, Microsoft Office 2019 product pages even describe Office 2019 as a "one-time release" with Office 365 being needed to gain access to new features after that. It may also be that there are fewer editions available for Office 2019 than for Office 2016. Whether you move to Office 2019 or 365, it's suggested you don't delay doing so, as Office 2016 cloud support will be dropped in 2020, with Office 2016 installs barred from connecting to Microsoft's cloud-based services, including hosted email (Exchange) and online storage (OneDrive for Business), after Oct. 13, 2020. New in Office 2019 Word – text-to-speech, improved inking & accessibility, focus mode, translator, Learning tools (captions & audio descriptions), @ Mentions PowerPoint – Morph transitions, Zoom, SVG, 3D model, play in-click sequence, 4k video, @ Mentions Excel – Power Query (Get & Transform) enhancements, Power Pivot included with all editions, new functions & connectors, publish to Power BI, AI-driven Excel Insights for chart suggestions, new charts, @ Mentions Excludes Co-Authoring, new Data Types like Stocks, and some other new features only available in Office 365 Outlook – @ Mentions, Office 365 Groups OneNote – OneNote for Windows 10 (Modern App included with Windows) has replaced OneNote desktop app (though OneNote 2016 will be available via Volume License Install tool) All Office apps – Ribbon customizations and roaming pencil case Microsoft Access - including the many updates we've seen recently such as: Modern Charts New Linked Table Manager Dark theme Big Int Salesforce & Dynamics connectors Other Recent Developments with Microsoft Access It's especially exciting to see all the new features, growing user base and communities, new integrations, and development team responsiveness seen with Microsoft Access of late. Inclusion on the Office templates page Which I hope will become permanent soon SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) updates ODBC and OLE DB driver updates – for optimized use and new feature support for SQL Server, Azure SQL and other back-ends databases Power BI support (via On-Premises Data Gateway) Considering On-Premises Data Gateway is shared with PowerApps, hopefully that means we may see PowerApps support too in the future New & growing Access conferences and user communities: New Access Developers' Day in Amsterdam DevCon in Vienna, AEK in Germany, UKAUG in UK, PAUG in Portland, Access Day in Redmond, Access Madrid in Spain Presence at Microsoft Ignite and other conferences Access User Groups (AUG) webinars and local chapters (Chicago, Denver, Madrid, Hertfordshire, etc.) Access now included in most Office editions Included in nearly all (besides Online-only) editions Access in Office 365 Home, Personal, Business, Business Premium, ProPlus, E3, and E5 editions Access in Office 2016 Professional and ProPlus editions With MS Access having been added to most Office editions, presumably it will likewise be available with most Office 2019 editions now too. It's great to see these features available to Office 365 subscribers (or even sooner if opt-in for Insiders program) now being made available to others with Office 2019, and I look forward to the many more new advancements with Microsoft Access and Office to come.
