Ask for MS Access not found custom web app.

Question

Dear Microsoft team and other expert,

I'm a user who try to use ms access. I need to use function of custom web app, but I can't found that function (please look at my pic below). How can I use that function?

Next, please assist to suggest me. When I have created Front end and Back end from ms access. How to share Front end for multi user and can use from other network? and Where do I need to save Back end? Can I save on Onedrive but I concern about security?

All of the question I ask for 365 Home and 365 for business.

Thank you so much

Answer 1

WEB apps were deprecated from Access with the 2016 version.   So they are no longer available.

Answer 2

Ok first, only the back end should be stored in a shared network folder. The front end should be stored on the local user's PC. You can then have multiple front ends some only allowing editing, some allowing only viewing.

Thank you for your suggestion, I will try, but that can use in the same network only right?

Answer 3

Correct. You can not use this approach to connect a Front End to a Back End on an external network.

Again, the thrust of your questions suggests you need to have remote users share a common Back End database. If that's the requirement, Access may not be the right choice for your Relational Database Application.

Please explain WHY this requirement exists so we can offer more relevant suggestions.

Thanks.
