Solved How are custom access applications made?

[mamradzelvy]

Hello, i know about this piece of software that many people in my surroundings use, it's called "Altus Vario" and it's a business platform developed via acces, however what i don't understand is, how do they control the menu on top etc. Is that something you can normally modify within a .accdb file?

oh that's nice, thank you!
that's only a local setting though, isn't it?
or do the settings get saved in the .accdb file?

The table resides at local / fe db.

It's basically just an XML string. You can save it anywhere you like. There are some built-in features to make it easy to store it in a table in the Access database, but this just one option of many.
