Web Database Reporting

The best way to pull information from a web based database into Access?

RE: Web Database Reporting

Hi Arabella,

Thank you for your question.

Use the File Get External data command and then Import Data.

If you have the database on SharePoint, then there is a specific option which allows you to put the URL address in.

Alternatively try the HTML option.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Random sampling

Data is th key to a good database, therefore checking is essential.

A good way of checking data is by random sampling. You can do this in a query, by typing the follow:
1) In the Field box create a RandonID field eg. Randon Id: Rnd(fieldname])

2) sort the field
3)Right click and chage the properties for To value to be the number of randon records you want to see.

4) Change the set to Show row for Randon ID to be False, add all the other fields you want to see and the run the query.
