Hello All
 
I uploaded two files into SharePoint (Shared Documents), I use Excel 2007 file to input data, then I open the Access 2007 and import the info inputed on above mention Excel 2007 file.
 
Import steps: On Access 2007 database uploaded into SharePoint and saved in drive C, I need to import an External data/SharePoint List (Import Sharepoint List), from an Excel 2007 file uploaded to same Sharepoint. Finally press Publish Changes (Save your changes to the server/ Publish to SharePoint Site).
 
Can I do that? I tried as External data Excel (Import Excel Spreadsheet) without results.
 
 
Best regards.
