Topic outline:
As many of you will know, a team of five experienced Access developers led by Tom van Stiphout (MVP) have been working for well over a year in creating two completely new versions of the Northwind (Starter & Developer) template database.

Members of the team are running a series of presentations to various Access User Groups, each of which will focus on different aspects of the Northwind 2.0 Developers template. In this session, Tom Van Stiphout and Kim Young will be presenting an in-depth treatment of several important features with a focus on Inventory and String functions

5 min: Introduction to the approach used in creating the two new versions of Northwind

35 min: Start with quick recap of the POs, products, and orders we have in the sample db. Inventory more in-depth. Reallocate. Order detail status changes. What changes could you make to the NW2 inventory. Split off an order.

Q&A about inventory

15 min: Employee form. Custom dialog. String functions. OpenArgs.

What's the likely hood of getting the functionality of Access linking to remote files? For example, an Excel file or another Access Database on a shared Onedrive folder?

What's the likely hood of getting the functionality of Access linking to remote files? For example, an Excel file or another Access Database on a shared Onedrive folder?

Off-topic, but always a popular question. The answer is: This is not likely, ever, if you are talking only about OneDrive. I won't go into the reasons here--decidedly off-topic.

Access links to many different file types and databases on a Windows network, so the likelihood is very high in that context.

As George said, your question is nothing to do with the topic of this meeting. Not sure why you asked it in this thread

Not sure why you asked it in this thread

Oh, sorry about that. I just saw that the topic involved creating new versions of Northwind template so I thought new features would have been introduced

Come to the presentation; we'll be happy to share information about many of the new features of the Northwind Templates. I promise at least one thing you've probably not seen before.

Most of it, though, is implemented with existing capabilities in MS Access using "best practices".
