Creating A Custom Web App Access 2013

Access 2013 allows you to create both desktop-based and Web App–based applications. The default choice is to create a custom Web App. In this section, we guide you through the steps to get you started with your first web application. 

Create a custom Web App:

1. After starting Access, choose the Custom Web App. 
2. Type the application name in the App Name text box. 
3. Type the URL for your Office 365 domain in the Web Location text box, or select your Team Site from the Available Locations list. 
4. Click Create. 
5. Sign in to your account. You can also select the Keep Me Signed In check box, which will keep you signed in; otherwise, you will be prompted again to sign in later when launching the Web App. 

If you have subscribed to Office 365, you have obtained a domain name as part of setting up your account—for example, mydomain. You will use that domain name when typing a web location to create an Access Web App—for example, https:// mydomain.sharepoint.com.

TIP: You might already see a list of available locations. If you see any locations referring to Team Site, you can use these as an alternative to typing the URL by selecting the location name.

CAUTION: If you cannot get to this point, remember that you need to create the appropriate Office 365 account before you can use this new feature. Otherwise, when you enter your details, you will not reach step 5.
