Our cloud solution keeps the Access front end locally and a MySQL database remotely. Works fine.

By the way, my users are using either an Access backend or a MySQL backend stored locally or remotely in our data center. All three works beautifully. The remote "hybrid cloud" solution became very popular when they had to vacate their offices early in the pandemic.

No, no database on the cloud servers, only files like images, with a link to the file stored in the table. And Yes, I am showing the images in a form. That part works fine. It has worked for a long time using OneDrive, Dropbox, SharePoint, Box and Google Drive. It's just that Google has changed...

That is a possibility, but they have added an additional folder layer, "My Drive". The user can't create anything in root location, but have to do it inside My Drive. It's possible that I have to have my users move to this new location to make it work, but first I will wait for potential answers...

No, I started here. I have asked Google support for documentation and help. But I will do.

Me too, but it only has a link to the googledrivesync.exe executable, not the file storage path.

Tested, but no. Good suggestion though

I've looked everywhere in the registry as well as in all the files within the "Base Path": C:\Users\morte\AppData\Local\Google\DriveFS

In an Access database, I let users chose between many different cloud systems to store file attachments, while I just store a relative path in an Access table, e.g. MyAppFiles\123\filename.jpg, and it knows from the Cloud Service setting what cloud system to look for to get the complete path...

Would you know a better place to discuss visual design of Access on this forum?

Thanks Doc-Man. It's not much of an add, as it is more to show that an Access UI can still be flexible and nice looking.

Just wanted to show a screen capture of the dashboard of my scheduling system used by my customers in the UK. Currently showing in dark color palette, but user can choose what colors they want.

Yes, I found it and playing with it, I find it a little confusing to use, but it is early days.

I saw the control pictured below on an MS Access form on the web today. I have never seen one like this before or know how to include one on one of my forms. Does anyone have information where to find this control? Is it a built-in control, or a third party control, if so from where? Morten

I have now rolled back to the previous Offce365 build, 16.0.15128.20248, and normal functionality have been restored. 16.0.15225.20204 is the bad build.

When trying to open a .htm file stored on my local drive using this command line: "Application.FollowHyperlink MyMapFile, , True" it will only accept it opening using Internet explorer. If I change the Internet Explorer folder name I get an error telling me it can't find Internet Explorer...

Are you sure it's not the latest Office that has caused the changes? While it has coincided with Windows 11, Windows is not likely to make changes within office apps like that.

I have seen the same. Changing Back Style to Transparent removes the blue, and a normal check box repairs.

We offer cloud storage of the back end on a MySQL server, where each user has a local copy of the front end. Many queries had to be updated to deal with the MySQL ODBC that sometimes make a relatively fast MSAccess query take several minutes over the ODBC connection.
