Hi. Just looking for some advice really. We have a SharePoint driven company Intranet (and use if for team collaboration) and a separate bespoke in house SQL database we use for Project Management. In certain instances we would like to be able to use the SharePoint interface to write to our own bespoke database SQL tables. Anyone know if this is possible? (I am sure it is but I am not really clued up on SharePoint or how to customise it – ours is pretty much an out of the box setup at the moment). Does anyone have any references or anything?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

I don't know much about the application development site of Sharepoint but I think you should be able to create a custom webpart to do this. They are really asp.net extensions which can be installed into sharepoint to perform added functionality. Have a bit of a google on writing custom webparts and you should find something helpful.
