WHat solution to use within Sharepoint?

[geoffsweb]

I am new to Sharepoint and am trying to figure out the best way to implement something within Sharepoint. I need to recreate a small Access database app inside of Sharepoint. From some reading I've done, it looks like Lists might accomplish this, but I'm not sure. I'm hoping somebody can push/point me in the right direction. Any links to examples or tutorials would be great!

Anyways, heres what I'm looking to do. I just need to have a form that allows a few dropsdowns that prepoulated with data. Depending the on the selection in the dropdown, it will populate the other dropdowns with data and/or make other fields onthe form visible/invisisble or greyed out. I'll attach a screen shot of the current Access application.

Thanks in advance!

one way is You could add a web Part and add a page viewer then point to the file you need to display.

SharePoint does not handle cascading dropdown lists out of the box. You can design something using InfoPath forms along with web services.

Here is an article to get you started -

Here is another link that offers a couple other options -

If you were able to do without the cascading dropdown lists, you could probably just use a custom list with custom fields for each of the drop down boxes.

Hope this helps.
