Cannot update Sharepoint list (2 Viewers)

[Isaac]

I've never been able to update a Sharepoint list from Access, where in the row I'm trying to update, there's a column that's of type PEOPLE

Interesting, I'll have to try that. But is PEOPLE a multi-value or choice data type? Or what we might call normal datatypes in other databases?

Or did you mean "Person or Group"? Or something else? SharePoint is a different environment.

I've always thought of it as its own special sharepoint beast - probably Access considers it multi value I would think

Person or Group, yeah

I bet People displays a person name, but it is pulling data from the exchange server so I bet it is actually storing some kind of exchange ID. So I would think it is a kind of lookup field.
