Link Access 2007 to SharePoint 2007 Survey
So here is my problemo.
I am trying to organize site requests into a system that will let us easially see what requests have come in and who are the particular owners or users associated with the requests. Currently we use a SharePoint 2007 Survey to collect all the requests. I
was hoping to upgrade things by linking the Survey list to an Access 2007 db so we can manage the data better. However, whenever I attempt to link the Access DB to a SharePoint list, none of the survey lists show up. I was wondering if there was a way to make
it so whenever someone completes a survey, it updates the Access DB. I have figured out a way to get this to work with InfoPath but I would rather use the surveys that already exist.
Thank you,
Jeb G.

This can be done through various methods without using InfoPath. Below are the URL's which could be helpful for you to link the Access Database to the SharePoint List

But the problem here is that surveys don't show as lists correct? They don't display as a 'normal' list within Access and therefore can't be linked via conventional methods. Is there a method to gain access to the survey list?
