MS Access forms on Android (1 Viewer)

[PhilUp]

Hello everyone,

I have a database connected to sharepoint lists. It's working fine.

I would like to be able to create one form to display my contacts on a form based on the sharepoint list and open it with an Android smartphone. Can anyone help me on this ? What is the best way ?

If the form on the smartphone is read only it would be ok, no need to update but if it could it would be even nicer.

Hi

One thing you could try would be to use a 'standalone view' as I describe it - presented to a user in viewer.aspx rather than default.asp. This basically means that you don't get all the Access Web App navigation. Here is a link to a blog post I wrote on the subject:

This will only work properly if you can persuade Sharepoint NOT to impose it's mobile style sheet - this always messes Access Web App views up completely. I often find this is OK if I navigate straight to the URL of the app (or page in the case of using viewer.aspx) rather than going via the Sharepoint Site.

Hope this helps.

Julian
