I was hoping to get some guidance on how I can retrieve Sharepoint list data.

I don't know if there is a specific adapter needed for Sharepoint, if there is, then we don't have it and we don't have budget currently to get one.

But, what I do know that we have is an MS Access adapater and an ODBC adapter. So what I did was created an Access table that is linked to the Sharepoint list. The linked table is working great within Access.

The problem is, I can't create metadata for it in Webfocus because when I try to create a synonym, I get the very generic "Could not find installable ISAM" error.

I also tried creating a view for that linked table in Access and creating a synonym for that view in the adapter. Still got the same error.

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening? Thanks!

Bump as in... nobody knows?


I'm sure we have it working here...
I'll just have to ask the IT guy how he did it.

We use is to show documentation about reports directly in a dashboard tab.

I know he queries directly in a sharepoint list...

Is that what you're looking for?
If yes, I'll ask him how he did it.

This is a Microsoft error message, not webfocus.
Apparently MS Access does have trouble gaining access to the lists when it is called from outside access.

Yes, this is what we need. If you can ask your IT guys, that would be really great!
