I am very pleased to announce that Thomas Möller (Access MVP 2007-2016) will be leading a presentation called State-of-the-art charts in Access with chart.js

I have seen this in action and it is VERY impressive.

There are countless JavaScript libraries available on the internet that can be used to create cool charts. Some charts even allow user interaction. The really good news is that these features can also be used in Access.

Thomas will use this presentation to demonstrate:

• How to get state-of-the-art charts (based on chart.js) running in Access
• What are the external dependencies and how can they be resolved?
• How do we program the whole thing elegantly and clearly?

NOTE: There is a lot to cover in this session and it is likely to last about 75 minutes (followed by a question and answer session).

The meeting will again be held on Zoom. When the time comes, you can connect using: Join Zoom Meeting.

As always, the session will be recorded and the video uploaded to YouTube after the event.
