The Current State of Access

Karl Donaubauer, Access MVP, donkarl.com

IMPORTANT: This presentation is at 10:30 AM Mountain Time

What's the mood in the Access village? What has been happening recently in Redmond and elsewhere for the product? What can be expected for 2023? And beyond? A funny report from the community and developer angle:

  • Market situation, version statistics, current problems
  • New features, bugs and fixes, backgrounds
  • Changes and flaws on Microsoft's Access web pages
  • Survival training while wrestling with update bugs
  • New activities in the worldwide Access ecosystem
  • Third-party tools and prospects
  • And what's the 2nd verse of the Access song? Be prepared for anything!

Karl is an Access developer and MVP since the 90s. He organizes conferences, does presentations, workshops and videos. Due to an obstinate nature he has dedicated himself to tilt at windmills, fighting the bad image of Access and the worse intentions, boasting in poor armour in various languages, countries and funny places, including an English wedding castle, a Calabrian sanctuary and several MSFT offices.
