I am working on an existing sharepoint on-premises 2010, and our aim is to migrate this on-premises 2010 to sharepoint online. now i checked the sites and they contain regular document libraries and lists, which should be smoothly get migrated using any third party tool or using the sharepoint online migration tool.

Now i have not worked on sharepoint 2010, so i am not sure what does the above represent? is it an access database published to a sharepoint 2010 site? also most importantly, can we migrate this database to sharepoint online? if we can then can anyone adivce on the approaches?

Answer 1

Access web apps no longer run in SharePoint online and migrating this database will not be possible. If the business still requires this functionality, you need to look into other options, for example Power Apps as the user interface for data stored in SharePoint.

Edit: Microsoft announced the death of Access web apps for SharePoint online in March 2017. From June 2017, it was no longer possible to create new Access web apps and existing Access web apps were given until April 2018 to be ported to other platforms.
