Access 2010 Forms - Converting 2007 Client into 2010 Web

[Richard918]

Is there a way to directly convert a 2007 form into a 2010 web form that can
be published to SharePoint 2010?

Alternatively, is there a way to programatically create a 2010 web form?

Thanks,
Richard

Remember that this is still beta and all the advice given is subject to
change...

In 2010 you can open your 2007 db and then choose to publish it to the web.
However first step will be (must be) compatibility check for the web. At that
point you will see that despite the good intentions there has to be some
tweaking done to the tables before it's actually published...

Don't think it will publish regardless because it won't!

Thanks Tom,

Do you know if there will be any movement in that direction?

Another option would be to programatically create an xml (and any other
related) file containing all of the form information and then import it into
the web db. Do you know if this would be possible?

Thanks again,
Richard.

Hi Richard,

There is no way to convert an Access 2007 client form or an Access 2010
client form into a web form that can be published to Access Services. You
can go the other way - make a copy of a web form as a client form - but you
cannot convert client forms to web forms.

To create web forms in Access 2010, you have to make all web forms from
scratch, use the Quick Create web form options to get a jump start, or use
some of the web application parts.
