Applies ToAccess 2016 Access 2013 Access 2010

Important    Access Services 2010 and Access Services 2013 are being removed from the next release of SharePoint. We recommend you do not create new web apps, and migrate your existing apps to an alternative platform, such as Microsoft Power Apps.

You can share Access data with Dataverse, which is a cloud database upon which you can build Power Platform apps, Automate workflows, Virtual Agents, and more for the web, phone, or tablet. For more information, see Get started: Migrate Access data to Dataverse.

This article lists Schema errors that you may encounter when you run the Compatibility Checker, and provides information that can help you resolve the errors.

For general information about Compatibility Checker errors, see the article Web compatibility check General errors.

Use the Lookup Wizard to create or modify a lookup field

Many Schema errors are caused by problems with lookup fields. These procedures explain how to launch the Lookup Wizard in Datasheet view to fix these problems by creating or modifying a lookup field.

Create a lookup field in Datasheet view

  1. Open the table to which you want to add a lookup field, and select the last column, labeled Click to Add.

  2. Click the arrow next to Click to Add, and then click Lookup & Relationship.

  3. Follow the steps of the Lookup Wizard to create the lookup field that you need.

Modify a lookup field in Datasheet view

  1. Open the table and select the lookup field that you want to modify.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • On the Fields tab, in the Properties group, click Modify Lookups.

    • Right-click the lookup field, and then click Modify Lookups.

  3. Follow the steps of the Lookup Wizard to fix your specific problem.

Error text    Column data type for value list lookups must be 'Text' to be compatible with the web.

What it means    The indicated lookup uses a list that is not supported in a web database. The value list must be bound to a text column on the server.

What to do    Open the table in Design view, and change the data type of the lookup field to Text. If Design view is not available, delete the lookup field, and then use the Lookup Wizard to re-create it.

Error text    Lookup row sources with clause clauses are incompatible with the Web.

What it means    The indicated lookup field uses a query that contains a WHERE clause, which is not supported on the Web.

Error text    A primary key which is a lookup is incompatible with the web.

What it means    The indicated table has a primary key which is a lookup field that refers to another table, which is not supported on the Web.

Then, open the Relationships Window and delete any relationships in which the lookup field is on the many- side of the relationship (the arrow points away from the lookup field).

If Design view and the Relationships window are not available, do the following:

  1. Create a new blank database (not a web database).

  2. Import the tables that you need from the original database into the new database.

  3. Make the required changes in the new database.

  4. In the original database, delete the tables, and then import them from the new database.
