    Is this possible with VBA?

    Just to confirm, is this windows tablet x86?

    IDrive

    Me too; in fact I just had delivered an 8 TB IronWolf drive to replace my 11-year old workhorse 2 TB WD Green. I contemplated going 4 TB SSD but the value proposition just isn't there for backup drives. I'm going to keep this drive disconnected from the system and will no longer keep my backups...

    Microsoft Dataverse for Teams

    One reservation I have is that if something ever happens to my license, I can't use my app outside the service like I can with Access runtime. In that sense it is truly SaaS (Software as a Service).

    Microsoft Dataverse for Teams

    Using Power Apps hosted by Dataverse and used within a Teams environment, it appears to me that this is the solution Microsoft intends for organizations to develop internal business apps quickly going forward. In that sense, it occupies the same space as Access, but it goes further in that they...

    IDrive

    Right. It's intended for select folders mostly and not a whole-PC backup, and doesn't do incremental backups as a proper backup service would do. Think of OneDrive on the PC like browsing Google Drive or your OneDrive online, only you're working with the files on your PC with an online sync...

    Is Access the right solution?

    It's possible that many of those interactions with other Office apps (and even non-MS apps) can be handled by Flows in Power Automate: That may very well be the intention of Microsoft as you work within the MS 365 ecosystem. Including Power Apps. I agree Access doesn't have a replacement but...

    Is Access the right solution?

    Having no experience with SharePoint I had to look further. It turns out you can create relationships: Create list relationships by using unique and lookup columns Still, there will be limits depending what you want your apps to do – which means if you want a desktop Access front-end and a...

    Is Access the right solution?

    It actually looks like they took PowerPoint and Excel and Access and blended them together. No VBA. But there are "formulas" used in a similar-looking bar as Excel. I wouldn't be able to criticize much without getting my hands on it but I know that for many, no VBA or query editor means it can't...

    Is Access the right solution?

    I suppose you don't have to define relationships at the table level, though I do so I have things mapped out for myself and to provide defaults throughout the database. Power Apps can't do code, though. So I'm unsure how you'd go about building a Power App for mobile that reads and writes to...

    Is Access the right solution?

    Relevant: Can Power Apps replace Access?

    Is Access the right solution?

    I've heard there can be performance issues when relying on Sharepoint instead of SQL, which worries me. I'm also not sure how we would create a relational database in SP.

    Is Access the right solution?

    $10 per app per user per month (one app used at a time), or $40/user/month for unlimited apps

    Is Access the right solution?

    I discovered an unfortunate limitation yesterday. Apparently using Power Apps via the MS 365 license comes with some limitations to data connectors, one key one being SQL server. Therefore creating a Power App for mobile use to connect to the same back end db you're using with your desktop...

    Will the Democratic Coalition Start to Unravel?

    Why do you believe there was no evidence? There was plenty including the meeting that happened at Trump tower. More than we could ever write about is written in the Mueller report so no need to spend too much finger energy on it.

    Has America Imploded?

    It's too bad that happened to her. However there is not a systemic problem as there is with people of color. Study after study shows that you are much more likely to end up in this place if you are black. Even if unarmed and not dangerous. So look at the issue more like a meta analysis rather...

    Has America Imploded?

    Pat I respect you but you need to find better sources of information. The number is in the hundreds. More than 250 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far

    Has America Imploded?

    Is breaking into the U.S. Capitol by force with a violent mob dependent on the color of your skin? Or are you claiming she was an innocent bystander who just was accidentally confronted by the cops on her daily routine? :unsure:

    Open borders to increase the Democrats voter base

    It's a nice conspiracy theory, but Democrats don't support "open borders" nor can illegal aliens vote in elections.

    Will the Democratic Coalition Start to Unravel?

    Wait. The Senate voted 57 Guilty, 43 Not Guilty. That includes Republicans who weren't intimidated by Trump supporters who threaten them with their jobs next election. Unfortunately too many of them are afraid and voted status quo. This is what many of them are up against: House Republican...

    Is Access the right solution?

    So as I was writing the original post here it appears Microsoft has been hard at work on this problem.
