    Struggling with finding an answer to a simple question

    ok so these responses indicate my question is still unclear ... at a high level, think of a flat file that isn't normalized with embedded looped data ... this data comes from XML files generated from online forms not under our control ... currently, we import the flat files then attempt to use...

    OFS 2016 update KB5001969 causing shared file issues

    KB5001969 has caused an issue where MS ACCESS can no longer open Shared Files ... MS posted an acknowledgment of this issue on 22/Dec/2021 (for 2016 and above) and stated that to correct this, users must manually go to the ACCOUNT screen in ACCESS and press the update Button ... I have 3 OFS Pro...

    Trying to eliminate a number of "like" reports that differ only on how N fields are populated from a primary table ... the original designer created N report variations ... now ... any minor changes have to be applied to N reports instead of one ... plus ... adding any filters to this report...

    Looking for direction, preferably Open Source Option, to replace 20+ yr old MS ACCESS Apps

    Thanks Bersani ... looks interesting ... and in principle appears to meet the definition of an "Access" alternative ... in context of what I described, and reading between the lines, my expectation was that an "App Builder" (< $500 one time cost) would build Apps that could be run from any...

    MSACCESS VBA object Order

    MSACCESS VBA object Order

    MSACCESS VBA object Order

    As stated, the order in which Access is firing these layered subforms is totally incomprehensible ... tried a number of mods to ascertain the nature of the order and or change the order to no avail ... order remained unchanged Warning KLUDGE Solution: Ended up adding a global STATE flag which...

    MSACCESS VBA object Order

    Several years ago I wrote a generic Start Module which provides user Login/Password, Auto Hide, Remote Shutdown/Lockout and User Level features that could be easily adapted to existing Main Forms ... am using this on several 2003/2016 db application files and allows for nightly orderly shutdowns...

    Unknown action with subform in datasheet mode

    Thanks ... probably comes down to over complication This field's lostfocus event was setting a dirty flag (another field on the record) which in turn was causing the EDIT (Pencil) issue ... may be some cart before the horse scenario whereby the field loosing focus is being given back focus due...
