Before you can publish your Access Web database application, you must have
Designer permissions in the SharePoint site to which you want to publish.
Viewing the Application Log
In addition to the Compatibility Checker table, you can check for error noti-
fications in the Application log (USysApplicationLog) for any server-side
errors that may have occurred during the publishing process.
Follow these steps to view the Application log:
1. Open your Web database application in Access 2010.
2. Click the File tab to present the Access Backstage View.
3. Click the Info tab.
General options relating to you application appear, including the appli-
cation log options.
4. In the Application log section, click View Application Log Table.
The application log table (UsysApplicationLog) appears. Figure 1-14
shows the View Application Log Table command as it appears in the
Microsoft Access Backstage View.

Opening your Access Web database application
When you successfully publish your Access Web database application to
Access Services, a SharePoint site is created, sporting the name you sup-
plied during the publishing process. When you navigate to the site, the
Web Access application appears, looking the way you specified as the site’s
default Web display form. If you haven’t yet defined a default Web display
form for the site, that’s a minor gaffe, and see the Site Setting page below.
The publishing process stores the entire Access Web database application
in SharePoint. Thus you can use SharePoint as your launching point for edit-
ing your application in Access. Even if you lose all the local copies of your
database application, you can still open the application from SharePoint —
which downloads a new copy of the application to you, linked to the server.
