Check out the Northwind Developer Edition template. We demonstrate how to do this.

I had to look up NEF files. Interestingly, they are akin to TIFF files, which can also be problematic in some situations.

I'm sorry. I am afraid you're missing the point, apparently. To help you understand, let's take an analogy of two warehouses, each constructed of concrete walls, two feet thick. Ceiling and floor also thick concrete. One warehouse has a single entrance. It's a door made of 3 inch steel plate...

I guess the word "context" means nothing to you.

Against whom should it be secured? Who, exactly, are you worried about? Your users? External actors? Others in your organization? Again, the point is that a blanket assertion does not make sense because the context determines the relative degree of security required. If your database...

PMFJI at a late point, but there's a key factor that you need to revisit, as theDBGuy said. While you can do a great deal to secure an accdb, you can't get to 100% security with Access. Colin is widely recognized as an authority on Access security and has written articles that can help you get...

I invested in a good desktop microphone to avoid the problems with headset microphones. It still requires me to be careful about where I place it in order to pick up my voice properly. https://samsontech.com/products/microphones/usb-microphones/q2u/

Some people have resolved the problem by recompiling the accdb. Try that. Also make sure it's in a Trusted Location.

I've used ChaptGPT and DeepSeek. The latter only to test, really. Yesterday I tried Claude after a long fruitless session with ChatGPT. I received a working response out of the gate from Claude. ChatGPT had had me going in circles on the same task for hours. If that pattern holds, I think...

My favorite learning technique has always been. "Try it and see what happens."

You have two lines. The first one opens the report for Preview on-screen. It contains a filter: "EWNID=" & Nz(Me.EWNID, 0) The second one sends another copy of the report to PDF. This is a different copy of the report, not the one just opened for Preview on-screen. It has no filter. Add your...

Broad, open-ended questions are not good fodder for a platform like AWF, unfortunately. You can invest dozens of hours in researching the pros and cons.... Asking people here to invest that amount of time on your behalf might not garner a strong response. Let ChatGPT invest its time on your...

Yup.

Yes, if you rename a .accdt to a .ZIP extension, you can open it and examine all of the files in it.

Inasmuch as I've downloaded and installed the template multiple times, and you installing them in the same Trusted Location on your computer, I don't know what else to suggest.
