Hi
I'm planning a DB to be linked to Azure so it can be accessed globally. The question I would like clarified is whether it is always possible to access the DB even without internet connection. Or if it requires access at all times to the server?

Just to expand, Azure is a cloud-based managed service provided by Microsoft, I'm not aware of any method of connecting to it "directly" without WAN access.

hi @Krayna

whilst developing the user interface, you can make an Access database with the same structure for testing -- of course, it can't have live data, only a snapshot of the data how it was when you made the Access database.

Azure isn't like SharePoint which can have an off-line mode (but also doesn't have the rich database capabilities)

You can make a roll-your-own offline capability and track what users add and change to incorporate back ... but that would be a lot of programming!
