Chapter 1: Getting to Know Access 2010
As shown in Figure 1-8, the Save and Publish options include regular old
Save Database As (to save it in some other format other than as an Access
database), Save Object As (to save your database as a PDF or XPS file), and
there’s one more under the Publish heading: You can choose to Publish to
Access Services. Figure 1-9 reveals the mysteries of Access Services, show-
ing that you can use this command to make your database accessible via the
Web or store it at a SharePoint location — which would then make it acces-
sible to others who have the needed rights to view and snag files from that
same location.

You must have SharePoint installed on your network or server to make full
use of this feature — and of course, have other users with whom to share
your files — for this process to be useful. Given that we can’t delve too far
into Microsoft SharePoint here (hey, this is an Access book, right?), we rec-
ommend the following resources to expand your knowledge of SharePoint:
✓ http://sharepoint2010.microsoft.com
✓ www.wiley.com: Use the Search box to find books and other learning
tools that pertain to SharePoint 2010.
✓ http://sharepointsolutions.com: Check this site (and of
course, Google for others) to find online courses in making the most of
SharePoint 2010.
