The official documentation for Nav Pane Groups is sparse. Can anyone confirm, what appears to be the case, that an object can only be assigned to one custom group?

Generally a mobile phone is a useful bit of kit but am I the only one who dislikes their all pervasiveness. I dislike the fact that people expect me to be available at all hours day and night! Easily solved as when I don't want to available I don't take if with me but then I get the accusatory...

In my early days of using SQL on an IBM mainframe using PL/I in the 1980s an important element of its usage was SQL cursors. Recently looking at SQL Server whilst comparing different SQL flavours I noticed that SQL Server has cursor in its vocabulary. Does anyone actually use cursors in SQL...

Recently in a past post I can no longer find (after a considerable amount of searching) there was a link to a new Basic compiler - I thought it looked interesting and thought I'd saved the link - seems if I did I can find that either! Can anyone remember this post/link? Thanks for any assistance.

As a Brit who spent many years in the USA I was, and still am, amused by the problems of not quite understanding each other. Two minor examples of my own experience were: - the wife of an American friend of mine on her first time in UK looking totally blank when begin asked if she had a biro...

Similar to the recent 'What tools do you use for frontend development?' thread but more concerned with the nitty gritty of actually writing/developing the code itself. What non-Access items do people use when creating databases that the can't do without? (I'm ignoring other MS Office apps)...

Does anyone else find the limitations of the Attachment data type frustrating. I tried it at some length when forced to move from Access 2003 and Win 8.1 to Access 2021 on Win 10, but it just didn't do what I used to do with a set of forms and routines I developed on 2003. I have reverted to...

The presumption is that all the members are either enthusiastic Access programmers, compelled Access programmers, or like me having been in the IT industry as a programmer and development manager for 30+ year use Access as a way of doing what they love now the haven't got targets to meet and...

I feel that the forum should allow, as well as the current allowed file types the text Object definitions one can export out of Access: by definition they can be no more dangerous than a .txt or a .accdb file, or embedded code in posts. And one assumes that the site has anti-virus software...

Is it possible to set the 'SQL Server Compatible Syntax (ANSI 92)' option in VBA?

Being newly joined I've been browsing the forums an noticed that users are regularly being told how to add references. I got bored years ago with the process when creating new databases so wrote the following procedure which I copy into every new database and run from the immediate window (and...

Been using Access since Ver 1.00 way back in 90s and all versions since. Now retired but programming as a hobby. I still think that Access 2003 in particular and Office 2003 in general were the most 'complete' versions and the releases since have continually dumbed down the products and made...
