I played with it a bit and couldn't get the dropdown to show up in Access 365, I didn't persist with it because Access SQL Editor suggested elsewhere in this thread seemed to do everything I was looking for, apart from the intellisense aspect.@ebs17
Still lost. I'm not seeing anything after reopening the form.
I've worked in IT for 20+ years, assuming the worst with Microsoft is absolutely warranted. Keeping in mind the project was meant for GR over 18 months ago and it's not even listed as in development anymore.
It's not ambiguity - it's not on the roadmap, assume it doesn't exist/will never ship. A pessimist is never disappointed.
Copium springs eternal, like the second coming, it'll be along real soon, we just need to be patient... I'm a cynic through a lifetime of disappointment.I agree with the comments by @sonic8 and @GPGeorge
In fact, I have written a couple of articles recently about changes to the roadmap with the latest available here:
Access Roadmap Update
This article discusses the new Access priority list (AKA roadmap) recently published for the 6 month period from Oct 2022 to Mar 2023www.isladogs.co.uk
I also wrote similar comments in reply to the original article at MS Tech Community
Our Road Ahead - Microsoft Access Engineering Priorities Oct 2022
Here are our latest engineering priorities for the next 6 monthstechcommunity.microsoft.com
As there was no direct reply from the Access team (possibly due to a recent staffing change in the team), Karl Donaubauer asked Michael Aldridge the same question at the recent AEK conference. @sonic8 was helping to organise that conference and gave you the official reply earlier.
Whether you or I like the way the roadmap has changed isn't the point. The Monaco editor is still planned for the future. Hopefully in 2023 . . .
For info, here is a screenshot of the Access SQL Editor add-in that I use
The price is just 10 USD (approx 9 GBP). A free 14 day trial version is available
Which one? I clarified that I should have said "Which was cancelled" originally, that is a fact that roadmap was cancelled. Everything else I've said is my (very jaundiced) opinion on the situation.However, your earlier comments were factually incorrect.
There are no more highlights, everything is colorful there, too colorful for me. I have trouble actually reading the statement, and in order to understand a statement I need to be able to read it. Can you turn that down?the Access SQL Editor add-in that I use
So I had another little play with this; try going into Design view and resizing the large unbound WebBrowser control so it's smaller. Mine looks like this:@dobseh,
I am running 365 also and am not seeing the dropdown. Perhaps it is an issue with 365 not supporting/acting well with this particular software? I like Daniel's site, examples and Youtube channel, but this download is very confusing (to me at least).
If someone has a 2 minute video or gif showing this in operation I'm sure it would be helpful to potential users.

I don't need much color to read and I need indented formatting like you know it from good VBA code.
Yes, originally the solution should also be for older Access versions that did not yet know Richtext. It stayed that way, I didn't really miss colored highlights, not even for longer SQL statements (you know, I also write nested and more complex queries). The formatting by indentation brings much more in terms of readability.I noticed your own add-in has ... no colour
