Use SharePoint as front end for access

Question

in SharePoint 2010, you could publish an access database to sharepoint and all the forms and reports would show. I read this is being phased out. In SharePoint 2016 , is it still possible to use SharePoint as a front end for an access db ? I am interesed in the forms, not the tables. I read that SP is pushing people towards using SQL server, but I am just a client side developer, and it is not like I can get my own database.

Answer 1

Yes, you can still use it in SharePoint 2016 Enterprise Edition.

Note: In SharePoint 2019, Access Services 2010 and 2013 are deprecated but will remain supported. so that it's recommend to use Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate as alternatives to Access Services 2010 and 2013.

Answer 2

Access Services 2010 and Access Services 2013 are available in SharePoint Server 2013 - 2019. I would recommend finding an alternative to using Access Services, though.
