During my research, I came across the "Access Explorer" extension, which claims to let you "Explore and edit Microsoft Access databases (.accdb / .mdb) directly from VS Code".
Before I risk running this on any live database, I wanted to ask the community:
How stable is it? Does it work well for daily development?
Is there any risk of database corruption when it saves and injects the edited code back into the .accdb file?
How does it handle form/report class modules (Form_FormName), or is it only reliable for standard modules (.bas)?
If you have used this extension or have a smooth alternative workflow to read/write code directly between VS Code and Access without manual copy-pasting, I would love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks in advance!
