One thing the new MS 365 universe has that did not exist with Access is that all of these apps and functions can be turned on/off for users by admins. So if you are in your team in MS Teams and you don't see Power Apps, it's probably because your admin decided to turn it off for you.

I don't have an old version to test but here is the message:

The error it gives is specifically mentioning modern charts.

Then Access is lying to me every time I save my .accde

If you use Modern Charts from Access 2019 your database cannot be opened in an earlier version.

Thanks, so it's the old chart style. Modern charts were introduced in 2019. I don't have an answer for you but I thought it would help others answer.

We don't have control over the Office install at work, so it's 2019 x86-64 bit. Declaration was modified with PtrSafe and a new .accde was generated and we were good to go. But as mentioned, the 32-bit clients need an .accde that was created in 32-bit Access.

That significantly affects your options. Why won't they let you use the relational database?

Using SQL Server as a back end requires more than the standard MS 365 Business license. Your options are: Per app plan (Run one app per user) $10 per user/app/month Best for businesses that want to license each user to run one app at a time, with the flexibility to stack licenses for each...

Which version of Access? 2019 overhauled the charts.

The programming language used in Power Apps has been dubbed Power Fx: From Microsoft:

It certainly looks promising, but at the same time I worry as developers who really know Access, we may find some limitations. I have to be fair because I haven't tried it yet. SQL Server. Front-end on each (work at home) computer and back-end in SQL Server. That is a problem. MySQL...

What does that code do that Application.FollowHyperlink does not? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/access.application.followhyperlink

"X64" isn't really a thing; x86-64 is the actual name. So an Intel Atom would be fine as it's x86. But if we're talking about ARM devices, like the kind that run iOS and Android, then you'll need to use the Runtime version of Access which should work in most cases except for some databases...

It is my understanding that Access won't run on ARM CPUs. Is that not correct? I guess if the runtime version is good enough for the end users you would be okay.

Interestingly, FTP was just removed from the latest version of Chrome. As far as your plans, some of the specifics aren't clear. Will launching the icon from the web location download a local copy that talks to a common back end? If so, then there won't be any problems. This is the same way we...

From 2009 onward I have only bought solid state disks for my computers. Fast forward to today and I bought my first mechanical hard disk in 12 years. Why? Because as much as I love them, it's for detachable backup and the value proposition for SSD's isn't there for this use case. This disk...

Just to confirm, is this windows tablet x86?

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...
