    Microsoft Access: Is it still relevant in 2022?

    This is all refreshing to hear, and very much mirrors my own experience. I agree with the above sentiments, whole-heartedly. The other factor which makes Access ridiculously attractive to a non IT professional like me, is that I can build a proof-of-concept BE and FE in Access, with the...

    SQL integration into MS Dynamics CRM

    Hello all, I've had a quick look over the forum and appreciate that this has been asked before. We are introducing MS Dynamics (CRM) into the business this year. My plan is to have a read/write access between our SQL server and CRM. We will incorporate a read-only link to the server...

    Udemy; Microsoft Access VBA for Non Programmers

    I've signed up to a few Udemy courses now, which have all been of a high quality. I'd agree that the content is incredibly broad, so I doubt very much that you'll fill in many knowledge gaps if you've been using and designing access databases for a few years. I did use it as a good icebreaker...

    Removing Non printable characters

    I've come across these for the first time recently.

I have seen a few vba solutions, which can be hit and miss if the characters are not...

    Legal Ownership of Database if I'm not a developer

    Hi, I've developed a database as a side project. I'm not a developer, nor do I work in an IT dept. This was purely a feasibility project. It turns out that the database worked, was adopted by work, and now seems to be taking a bit of a life of its own. I was called into a meeting today...

    Belated Welcome from the UK

    Hi All, I've been a serial "lurker" on the forum for 2 years now, mainly due to work projects. I thought the least I can do it register and acknowledge the help you guys have given me throughout that period. I'm not a programmer, I don't even work in IT, but your forum has enabled a bodger...
