Question : Sharepoint - Microsoft Access - SQL Server
|
|
I am a SQL Server - Access Excel VBA developer moving one of my customers projects over to Sharepoint. I am new to Sharepoint. My first of many questions is this: regarding Timesheets, I have decided not to use the MS Timesheet template available for Sharepoint due to the fact that my client does not wish to spend more money on installing InfoPath (many end users) and/or Forms Services which is required. Since I already have a timesheet developed in ACCESS with a SQL Server backend, is there a way to just display or integrate it into Sharepoint ? We have SQL Server 2005 and MOSS 2007. OR would it be better to develop a form using ASP.NET (I have some experience in this) and again have this webpage displayed in Sharepoint? As I've setup my customers business process to use Sharepoint, Im trying to integrate the many processes I've made for them into Sharepoint. thx

Sharepoint can display a ASP.NET web page in a web part. However, it is far more efficient to write your own custom web parts and it is easier than you probably realize.
I'd really encourage you to read more about redoing the front end in Sharepoint to connect to your SQL database.
