This week, join Access Lunchtime on Tuesday to learn about Discord
Learn how to chat with other Access developers on Discord with Jim Dettman and Doug Yudovich

I joined the Access Talk on Discord and participated in the Friday @1300 event. Always great to talk to the experts, but what really impressed me was a "newbie" joined and asked if it was proper to ask for help. Two heavy-weights in attendance didn't hesitate and got her on her way.

Good stuff....

thanks, John @NauticalGent, good to talk

Interesting. I tried the link that George provided in UA. Repeated the accept but constant "Whoops"?

You do need an account, but when I click that link you provided, I get invited to create an account?

What does "whoops" mean? Can you not create an account there?

 

[jdraw]

Whoops is on the display Unable to accept the invite.
George, I'm sure I created an account when the video was produced (2024) but have never used it.
Trying to create a new account...answered the form with
displayName
userName (said great it is available)
accepted a generated password
added date of birth info
clicked create account

then went to login
asked me to enter an email but no spot unless I overwrite info already on screen???

 

[NauticalGent]

Here is the invite link I used:

[jdraw]

Thanks John. I tried that several times ---kept getting Unable to accept the invite.
Have gone thru a few hoops to get a new account. Finally have an account, but had to use firefox and edge to get info to supply the web prompts. Sure hope the "juice is worth all the squeeze"

I'm still learning my way around over there, so I'll have to follow your steps to see what I can learn.

Thanks.

Yeah, I was surprised how easy it was. I seem to remember trying to get on about a year ago but had the same issues you are talking about and gave up. I saw Daniel's post on his site and decided to give it another go.

The activity there is NOTHING compared to AWF but anything that gives me a direct line to where the MVP's are is a good thing. Not sure if you will consider it worthwhile, but I DO know your presence will be welcomed!

The video from the July 3rd meeting of Access Pacific is available now on YouTube:

Geoffrey L. Griffith shared and demoed two Access add-ins he created for the Access community. After the demo, the group participated in a live round of testing and the inevitable debugging which followed. It's a case study in developing quality software.

The download links for Geoff's add-ins are on Github.

From Access to PowerApps: Modular Logic using UDFs in PowerApps (17:56)
by George Hepworth @GPGeorge

 

[GPGeorge]

PowerApps now has User Defined Functions (UDF) that accept parameters, perform calculations, and return results.

Not quite VBA, but moving in the right direction.
