The data in a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 list differs from the data in an Access 2007 table when you export the table from Access 2007 to a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 list

SYMPTOMS

You export a table that contains a multivalued lookup field from Microsoft Office Access 2007 to a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 list. When you do this, the data in the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 list differs from the data in the Access 2007 table.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the table that the multivalued lookup field uses does not have a primary key.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, add a primary key to the table that the multivalued lookup field uses.

Note When you export an Access 2007 table to a SharePoint list, you must have only one unique index on the ID field of the table. You cannot use multiple primary keys on an exported table.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Office Access 2007
  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
