Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] Export to Sharepoint

Duane,

Yes, I can manually add a record. I can even delete all records. I thought if i could delete, i should be able to append

Jim,

Can you manually edit or type in a new record?

Yes, I noticed the sharepoint list has 3 extra columns not in the source that has the data to append. can i add those fields in the query designer. But nothing happens when i run the append query

Do you get an error message? I seem to recall editing and appending to a share point list that was linked to Access. There are typically a number of extra columns that might need to be considered.

Paul,

I can run a delete query and it works. But appending does not append the records

Paul,

I can give it a try. I have heard of linking to a list in SharePoint but never tried.

Thank You

I have zero experience with Sharepoint, but I know you can link to a Sharepoint list from Access.  Can you do that and append the data via an append query instead of TransferDatabase?

Hello all,

I have successfully created some code to export a table to a sharepoint list. The code creates a new copy of the sharepoint list each day. My boss created a power flow to delete the list each morning. But my boss wants to have the list be appended from the table instead of a new list created. He says the new list breaks any links to other objects. is there a way to do an append to a list instead of a create list? Below is my code without the sharepoint site for security reasons.
Thank You So Much for your assistance with this

Jim Wagner
