Microsoft Access and MOSS - take it with you

Thank you Connecticut Access Users Group for a very interactive session. In prepping for our session, I got to learn about the great abilities Access 2007 brings to the overall ecosystem that is WSS/MOSS. As promised, here are some resources to jumpstart your exploration...

• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Start page - great entry point to a whole bunch of resources - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/FX100492001033.aspx
• Here's the one page you want to revisit and spelunk for great Access stories. If you want a better story about MOSS+Access (at least better than I told you), check out the presentations in this post on the Access Team's Blog site. Specifically: Interesting presentations about Access 2007 - http://blogs.msdn.com/access/archive/2007/12/10/interesting-decks-on-access-2007.aspx
• Access 2007 Resource Center; In this section, find articles, videos, references, code samples, downloads, and blogs for Microsoft Office Access 2007 - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa905409.aspx

And for those willing to get there hands dirty :)

• SharePoint Server 2007 Trial Version - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2E6E5A9C-EBF6-4F7F-8467-F4DE6BD6B831&displaylang=en
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 VHD - https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=67F93DCB-ADA8-4DB5-A47B-DF17E14B2C74&displaylang=en (watch out it expires in 30 days, so chop, chop).

Bidirectional data, cache it, synchronize, work offline...Access+WSS/MOSS, better together!

Oh, and let's not forget, with SP1 shipped, you don't have an excuse not to live the WSS/MOSS life (or the Office Live lifestyle).
