Access 2007 and SharePoint 2007 linking issues

4 New Member
Hi, I created an access database with cascading combo boxes with the information for each combo box stored in separate tables. I wanted to put the database on SharePoint 2007 but when I put it up there, it made me get rid of my primary key and it inserted it's on "ID" primary key. Now instead of getting the text from the tables to populate the combo boxes, it get's the ID number. I have tried several things to get around this such as accessing the specific column (tbl1.Columns!N ame) that i needed from the table. There seems to be no way to change the primary key or delete the "ID" field. I even tried using SQL statments to get the particular column from the list. However i have had no luck. Is there anyone who may be able to help me with this?

I can't help off the top of my head.
Perhaps you could provide an example of what the old version does and what the new version does. The SQL of the ComboBox would be required and an explanation of exactly why the new results you get are not right.

The only thing I can think of is to remove the primary key designation from the primary key and let it get imported as a normal field. Then set the combo box bound column to this key instead of the new primary key.

We are running an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. Our network guy is upgrading to Windows Server 2003 and wants to upgrade Office and SQL Server at the same time. We're moving to SQL Server 2005, and, since he already has licenses for Office Pro 2002, he wants to upgrade to that. I've been saying that we need to upgrade to Access 2003, not 2002, even if Office is kept at 2002. We are also looking to do a fair amount of...

How will Access fair in a year? Two years? .... The new version of Access seems to service non programmers as a wizard interface to quickly create databases via a fancy wizard. Furthermore, why would you even continue to use Access as a backend when you have a much superior option in SQL express? What about as a future front-end development tool? Let's get serious. Microsoft continues to publish numerous articles and videos on how you...

My establishment has about 20 ms access db's that will be converted over (see subject). When we pull all the BE's over to SQL and the FE's on Sharepoint (.net) surely we don't have to change every user face, we should be able to use the same FE in as before as now on Sharepoint? ANSWER:

We currently have 5 separate databases to track issues and keep updates. The issues as they are now are entered with primarily drop down boxes on the data entry form and text. Each database has 3-4 users. BTW - these are plopped up on a shared network drive. The problem is, each of my five group users need to have access to all of the information provided by the other four. We are looking for a solution ot merge all of the databases...

Been using Access 97 for years. I use a statistics add-on (Total Access Statistics) which is kind of expensive and I haven't found anything to be gained by upgrading. But I'm now told I probably should because of memory issues with Access 97 which are getting increasingly fussy. I'm told that, at best, Access 2007 isn't really very good, that the better memory management came with 2003. Any thots? Also, is Vista really that bad?

I am in a new position and looking at the possibility of using Sharepoint for my database instead of the whole backend on the server, frontend on the workstations route. Does anyone have websites or other books they recommend? Any experiences? Roadblocks to avoid? Limits in functionality? Thanks in advance, Laura
