Moving Away from MS Access
ITLouis69 et al.
I just re-read most of this discussion. It was suggested to me that this might be a good topic for my Access User Group.
I run one of the Chapters of the Access User Group organization. I'm always on the lookup out for interesting topics that may not be on the beaten path. Would any of you be interested in joining us for a discussion of your concerns and possible alternatives?
I'm scheduling now for later in the summer this year.
At this point, it's kind of an idea, not a plan, but if there is interest, we can make it happen.
Hey George,
if i create an app in Access and end my subscription, can i still run the apps or are the apps useless if i do not re-subscribe?
I’m 82 years old, retired from it and have created many access apps for the company I worked for. Subscriptions were not available then, so that’s why I’m asking.
thanks,
rudy
82yo?
To be fair most Wintel platforms are 64 bits now. So this would be a tough ask.
What does your app do? Ie. the most simple one?
With the free Access Runtime, yes, you could continue to run it for data entry and retrieval tasks, but you would not be able to modify it in anyway without the full version.
