To hammer home the point (deliberate reuse of the analogy), MS is discontinuing the VBA enabled Publisher app from the Office suite in 2026. Whilst a few users will be disappointed by that decision, that can't be described as reducing the effectiveness of Access. The problem with Outlook is...

The change to Outlook equally affects all other Office apps such as Excel, Word and PowerPoint. As @sonic8 made clear, the effectiveness of Access itself is not being diminished.

Desktop

You can have both Classic & New Outlook. I have that in Windows 11 on 2 machines though only use Classic

Very few apart from Graph API I believe some people have used Thunderbird with Access but I've never tried

I have used CDO to send email from Access for over 20 years. It is easy to setup but only works for sending emails. Use late binding and no additional reference is needed. I have an example app for testing email account settings with CDO https://isladogs.co.uk/email-tester/ Agree that the...

When I hide the Access interface, I am scrupulous about only having one form open at a time. Problem solved

And then look at this one https://isladogs.co.uk/dictation-access/index.html

Not easily available at the moment and I'm going out for the rest of the day. Can you upload a cut down database with just the required tables(s) and your query attempts. Change any sensitive data before uploading

The changes will start rolling out in the near future but likely won't be complete or released to all channels until late Spring 2026 Definitely worth trying various alternatives in the meantime.

Marcus Dieterle gave a very impressive presentation to the Access Europe User Group on Wed 1 Oct where he demonstrated how his custom dialogs and mini-notifications can significantly enhance user experience. The video of the session is now available on YouTube: Do watch the video and...

Not with a modern chart as it always transforms the row source. Why not use the original table/query on which your crosstab is based?

It was precisely for that reason that I started using automatic form resizing back in 2005. However I disagree with you that it’s now much easier to manage without AFR. It’s still the case in many work environments that users will have a wide variety of monitor sizes, resolutions and often...

For info, not only the sort order but the gridline appearance is based on the final series (not the first series) There is a popup message that tells you this but its easy to miss: Whilst you can enter values for other series, they will normally be overwritten In this case, I have the x-axis...

Templates are designed to be read only. Try saving as .docx

I also found that the option group wasn't selectable in my first attempt. That can probably be fixed but isn't important enough to spend a lot of time doing so.

A long requested feature has been the ability to zoom forms in/out to fit on different monitors or resolutions. After some delays, this is now close to being released with rollout expected to start at the end of October...

1. That's my point. Having an English only version would be very helpful. 2. That should be possible by placing a button on top of the AND/OR option group and setting it transparent when the textbox CrNumTxt >1. The code to do this goes in the Detail_Paint event:. Something like: Private Sub...
