Is it possible to use MS access as a TFS client for Work Item tracking? -


Especially I would like to prepare for stakeholders, which is a simplified view of the work items that it used The detailed explanation is different from the developer in VS. Ideally, some areas such as the repetition path also have to be updated tfs.

For now, I would like to use, but display more details using forms in more user-friendly forms.

You have some options to look for / tamper with no work outside of the box

  • Visual Studio
  • Web (basically the same view as VS but a browser though)
  • Excel
  • MS Project

    If you want to make a user friendly UI more than the visual in Excel, then I think you have 2 options.

    1. Open the "form" interface For Ane using VBA in Excel, I have not used VBA in years but I can not think of a reason why it would not be much easier. The plus side of this approach is that when you migrate to newer versions, you should be want different from the API changes in TFS. Downside is Excel.
    2. Write a pure application and use to draw essential data from TFS. This would be the best way from an engineering standpoint, but you almost certainly want to update the app and update it potentially, when migrating to a new version of TFS.
