Access User Group – Europe

[isladogs]

Access Europe (AE) is a new online chapter of AccessUserGroups.org. Further details are available from https://accessusergroups.org/europe/

All meetings will be on the first Wednesday of each month from 18:00-19:00 (UK time – currently UTC/GMT) and will be co-chaired by Alessandro Grimaldi & myself (Colin Riddington)

Whilst Access Europe is intended to be at a time suitable for residents of European countries, the meetings are both free and open to all

The first meeting on Wed 2 March will be used to introduce ourselves and explain the purpose of the group, explain how to use the various tools on the Access User Groups website and provide more details about the group as a whole.

We hope you will join us for our first meeting and help ensure the new Access Europe chapter is a success

https://accessusergroups.org/europe/event/access-europe-2022-03-02/

It is intended that Access Europe will largely focus on innovative and lesser-known features in Access.

During the first meeting, there will be short presentations by both Alessandro and Colin as a ‘taster’ of what to expect from future meetings. The session will also provide an opportunity for those attending to suggest possible topics of interest for subsequent meetings.

We already have an exciting range of speakers and topics booked for the coming months, starting on Wed 6 April with Chris Arnold who will be demonstrating his new and very powerful Access Studio application.

This month, I will be running a presentation on Annotating Google Maps in Access

I will demonstrate ways of personalise downloaded maps for your clients. Topics to be covered will include the use of:

• marker points e.g. to mark client locations or nearby places
• lines joining 2 or more points e.g. to indicate routes between locations
• circles around a location e.g. to show places of a specified type within a specified distance from a set location
• boundary shapes e.g. to show postcode or regional boundaries
• feature styles e.g. to mark major & minor roads and points of interest

All annotations are added as additional map layers using code as part of the URL used to generate the map.

The session will also explain how to overcome issues caused by the 2083-character URL limit using the current web browser control based on IE (whilst we continue to wait for the new Chromium Edge browser control). An example database will be provided in conjunction with the session

For more details, see: https://accessusergroups.org/europe/event/access-europe-2022-12-07/

I am very pleased to announce that Karl Donaubauer (long time MVP, organiser of Access DevCon and the Access News videos) will be running a presentation called A baker’s dozen of tips, tricks and tools in 60 minutes

As the topic title indicates, the session will be used to demonstrate about a dozen of Karl’s favourite tips, tricks and tools. It may also be 14 or 16…

Anyway, if you think you already know everything about Access, you’ve come to the right place.
Karl is constantly collecting techniques, tools, solutions and explanations that you don’t hear and read everywhere. This time for example:

• Access/VBA settings overlooked for decades
• how to program Access properties in VBA that don’t exist in VBA
• how to get return code (exit code) from external programs
• finally, the horizontal continuous form
• a tool to generate & integrate QR codes at the push of a button
• a tool that generates professional related test data
• context menus without right mouse, colours in combo and list boxes… and other small stuff

For more details, see: https://accessusergroups.org/europe/event/access-europe-2023-01-04/ 

The meeting will again be held on Zoom. when the time comes, you can connect using: Join Zoom Meeting
I hope you will join us!
