Oops.
The first time you publish your application to Access Services, you use the
Publish to Access command to deploy your application. Follow these steps
to publish your application:
1. Open your Web database application in Access 2010.
2. Click the File tab to present the Access Backstage View.
3. Click the Save & Publish tab.
The save and publishing options appear.
4. In the Publish section, click Publish to Access Services.
If this is your first time publishing the Web database application to
Access Services, a Publish to Access Services section (complete with
appropriate button) appears just below the Compatibility Checker
option, as shown in Figure 1-12.
5. In the Server URL field, enter the URL to the server running Access
Services.
6. In the Site Name field, enter the name you want to give to the new
SharePoint site that will represent your Access Web database
application.
7. Click the Publish to Access Services button.
The Synchronizing Web Application dialog box appears, showing you a
status bar while the conversion process runs. If the publishing process
is successful, you receive a success message, along with a link to the
new SharePoint site. If the publishing process is unsuccessful, you’ll see
a message similar to the one in Figure 1-13. (Oh, well, the world hasn’t
ended yet. Try again.)
