    Solved Using ACCESS, WORD and OUTLOOK to send bulk E-Mails

    To clarify, you cannot automate New Outlook from Access or any other Office app. Either revert to 'classic' Outlook or use CDO to send your email direct from Access bypassing Outlook completely.

    Future of Access

    I don’t agree about this being a valid concern. Although I don’t agree with the decision to remove VBA support from New Outlook, it was a somewhat unique case. Over the years MS had created multiple versions of Outlook, for PC and Mac, both desktop based and web based. This meant there were...

    DEMO: How to display different background colours on a Continuous type form.

    @MajP Article now updated. You are correct that the limit using VBA was also increased to 50 with Access 2013.

    DEMO: How to display different background colours on a Continuous type form.

    Yes that needs updating. Thanks for pointing it out. I made use of the workaround by @Royce on several occasions but it didn’t always work eg when there were spaces in the expression. However I think it was much later that the code bug was completely fixed as suggested in the final post in that...

    Thanks. I've fixed it in my post as well.

    DEMO: How to display different background colours on a Continuous type form.

    I created something very similar to the second screenshot above many years ago, originally to get around the (then) limit of 3 CF colours. However the idea of using colour values stored in a table remains just as useful now that limit no longer applies More info in my Colour Conditions...

    Selecting only records where both of two values exist

    1. ONLY isn't a recognised keyword in Access 2. As Category Type should only have one item per record, no single record should be both Car And Bike . . . UNLESS you are using MVFs in which case a different approach is needed. One approach would be to do 2 separate queries filtering for Car and...

    How to automate importing 31 .csv files into SQL Server?

    For many years, I did exactly this process with about 30 CSV files each night at about 2 am, importing data into the SQL server BE for my main school database. The import files were also very large so the total process typically took around 45-60 minutes. However, the process was completely...

    RegExp Added to VBA Library with Office Version 2508

    If you read the MS article that I linked in my own article, the change was designed such that all existing code will continue to work. However, for early binding you no longer need the separate Regular Expressions library from 2508 onwards For late binding the code remains Set regEx =...

    Access Based Media Manager

    Its read only. I did experiment with setting extended file properties using VBA a few years ago. Unfortunately, it can only be done for a limited range of Office file types - those in XML format e.g. .xlsx, .docx, .pptx.

    RegExp Added to VBA Library with Office Version 2508

    As already stated, retail versions receive security and feature updates. LTSC versions ONLY receive security updates , typically monthly. If purchased from official channels, LTSC are sold with a volume license agreement. If an individual copy is purchased from resellers, the software may not...

    RegExp Added to VBA Library with Office Version 2508

    So its retail version of 2021 and has been updated regularly. As you are now on version 2508, you have RegExp in the VBA library as explained at the start of this thread.

    RegExp Added to VBA Library with Office Version 2508

    It probably updates automatically during idle time. What is the version and build info? See File Backstage View … Account…About Access (as in the screenshots earlier in this thread)

    RegExp Added to VBA Library with Office Version 2508

    The important point is the version you have (2108) rather than the bitness. LTSC editions do not receive feature updates . . . though @arnelgp seems to have found a way of doing so with 2024 LTSC

    RegExp Added to VBA Library with Office Version 2508

    I don’t believe bitness is relevant. I have tested in both bitnesses and RegExp is present in both cases.

    RegExp Added to VBA Library with Office Version 2508

    That's also surprising! I have the E5 Enterprise edition of 365 and that does include RegExp in VBA

    RegExp Added to VBA Library with Office Version 2508

    Now that’s interesting and also unexpected. 👍 From the screenshot, that is 2024 LTSC but its getting updates as if it were a retail version. According to the MS website, the latest version of 2024 LTSC is 2408 (Build 17932.20540)...
