With Office 365/ One Drive is it possible to use Access from iphone or iPad?

I don't believe there is an iPhone app, but wondering if information from Access can be used maybe via Excel or One Drive somehow.

    If you only want to read the data on your mobile device, what I do with some of my personal financial data is output a report as a PDF file to a OneDrive folder.  This is automated in the Access file after any update of the data, so that I always have access to the up to date data from my iPhone.

    No, there is no version of Access for mobile devices, but you could use RDP or some other remote desktop solution.

    That said, when mobile Access becomes a requirement usually Access goes by the wayside and you need to turn towards proper Web technologies that work through a Web browser (PHP, .net, ...).

    Hi Steve722

    No, I am sorry the underlying operating system (iOS) does not have the required functionality to be able to open or link into an Access database

    Thanks. I'll play with that. Have not tried MS RDP in over a decade. I've been using TeamViewer.
