Access ServicesVersion: 1.0 DescriptionIn this lab, you will learn how to use SharePoint Access Services to publish an existing Microsoft Access database to SharePoint Online. Doing so will create a new SharePoint web and convert Access tables into SharePoint lists, and Access forms into corresponding HTML and CSS. You will then use this database as a bug tracking database. You will learn how to proactively log exceptions in SharePoint Online. OverviewLab Time: 20 minutes. Lab Folder: C:\%Office365TrainingKit%\Labs\5.2\Source\Before Lab Overview: In this lab, you will learn how to use SharePoint Access Services to publish an existing Microsoft Access database to SharePoint Online. Doing so will create a new SharePoint web and convert Access tables into SharePoint lists, and Access forms into corresponding HTML and CSS. By publishing a database to SharePoint Online, you allow everyone with access to your site to interact with an Access database without the complexities of sharing an access database file (.accdb). In the first exercise, you will explore the newly created site to view the site lists that correspond to the Access tables. Next, you will update one of the lists and see the corresponding SharePoint website and Access database updated. The second exercise will leverage this database to demonstrate how to prepare for and handle exceptions in your solutions after the solution has been deployed to SharePoint Online. You will do this by proactively catching any exceptions and logging the details to a list that was defined as part of publishing the database to SharePoint online.
