I have always used Access to store data where an Excel tool requires multi-user access and data to be written and queried.
When my clients started using SharePoint (SP) I had to get them to use an Azure Data Blob to provide a virtual server as Excel can't talk to Access via web addresses. By placing the Access and Excel files in the Data Blob location and using a shortcut to the Excel file in the SP platform, I was able to keep using the Excel - Access - Excel set up.
I'm now thinking that I should start to use a web based data base that Excel can talk to via VBA but I have no idea what to use.
Could anyone recommend something to use that is easy to use as I'm not brilliant with Access outside the scope of setting up tables, related tables, writing to and querying from the Db.
TIA
