want to come to an online user group meeting?

Thanks for the explanation. It is certainly true that AccessUserGroups presentations are carefully edited due to all the reasons that you mention. I know that it takes George and I at least 10-15 hours to edit each month's presentation and I suspect that is true for Crystal also. Video editing is a very time consuming activity as I'm sure you are aware from your own experience.

Having said that, in my opinion, watching a recorded video is never the same as being present at the live event when you are able to interact to ask questions / make comments etc.

Anyway, back to editing this month's Access Europe presentation by Aleksander Wojtasz . . .

Indeed! Even a 5-minute video can take an hour to edit. Here's that word again it's an excruciating process!

And for what purpose? Why would you put yourself through that tortuous experience, for what? For the video to get 100 views in a year!

That's why I'm attracted to the interview style. An interview, basically a conversation between two people, should not need so much editing...

Mind you it might not be necessary to ever edit presentations anymore! AI will do them for you!

I'm not sure I agree with the editing being easier for an interview style format.
Personally, I find editing the Q&A sessions in the AEU videos can be the hardest part to do well.

Pleased to say I do get many more than 100 views in a year but I accept your point.
It would be great to get the viewing figures of Richard Rost with his 200K+ subscribers.

Many of you have probably heard about the New Outlook (without COM) and don't use it. However, a day will come when you may have to ... good to learn what you can do about that and prepare.

We all know that control tip text in Access is not very responsive. In this presentation Greg shows us how to create control tip text that really works with a modern look.

the Monaco SQL Editor is now a default option unless you explicitely turn it off in Access Options, if you're using a version of Access its supported in and a trusted database. What are the benefits and disadvantages of Monaco?

thinking about migrating an Access back-end to SQL Server? Here are good considerations and things to do for planning.

Tip: something you can do in Access right now is use dbSeeChanges for options when you open a recordset in code or run action queries. It has no effect for Access, but must be used for SQL Server.

Also, realize that Access gets an Autonumber value right away but SQL Server only gets a value after a record is saved. So if you're getting the value in code, after you UPDATE, set rs.Bookmark = rs.LastModified and then grab it.
