Looking for:
Microsoft Office – Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Learn.

Now changes they may make? I could see Microsoft adopting more of a C than VB path down the road. I could see Access gaining more updated tools to deal with larger file sizes when using 64bit, better graphics storage, stability improvements, speed improvements in the engine, and maybe some GUI design overhauls to modernize created solutions.
But a coffin nail? Not for long way down the road. It is too ingrained into too many businesses to let it die on the vine. Sadly, your article is flawed and biased. Microsoft deprecated Web Databases from Access, one of its components. They never said they were doing away with Access as a whole. Access remains the most commonly used applications from fortune companies to small mom and pop businesses alike and this is due to its extreme flexibility, compatibility. While it does have its shortcomings, no doubt there, your proposed alternatives cannot compete with Access, not even close to being potential replacements!
I disagree with most of the comments here. Access is outdated, difficult to use, prone to crashing, and not suited to much of anything other than a personal sandbox or very limited application with a very small user base. The reality is that younger developers have no desire or need to work with this product, and users have become so accustomed to point and click web applications that the idea of opening Access, which has the look and feel of software, is a joke.
If you have small data and just need a quick form, SharePoint Online functions just fine. Yes, that is what we are doing. Using Access for the GUI front-end only. We are currently looking for a GUI based web development platform to migrate over. I picked up much of my understanding on my own through the Step by Step series so am clearly self-taught.
I see your revision. I would love to see any links to articles directly quoting Microsoft as having made this announcement. I have been an Access developer and trainer since , and a Microsoft MVP in and , and I have stayed up-to-date with everything Access related. Web apps, yes. Those deserved to die. But the desktop Access application has always been vehemently supported at Microsoft. Hi, Richard, Here is a page from the Microsoft website that talks about Microsoft Access being removed from Office in with all traces of Access taken out of all Microsoft web applications by April I did say in the article that Microsoft always intended to continue developing and supporting the desktop version.
I find the comments more interesting to read than the article. I have been searching for an online database with forms and reports capabilities to replace my Access database for a few years with previously limited funding and now no funding from my company.
IT has no capacity to assist. Currently, I am still using Word for applicants to complete the information and I enter a few essential details in the database — all very manual. Is there a way to connect the Access to online forms and create online reports for relevant personnel to access? Probably yes. You can control Word, Excel, etc. Excel is the easiest.
Word is OK. Outlook is difficult. Online reports can, theoretically, be done. It might be easier to find another, more modern solution, but they could be so generic that getting them to do what you want might be a total pain. Then you can create a new Word document, open it, fill it with text and tables, etc. You can control formatting. It was a CRM and quoting system for a motor vehicle leasing company. The proposal was sent to the potential customer via email.
I had to combine all the read-only docs into a single PDF and attach it and all the Word docs to an automatically generated email. Lots of customised, formatted text in the body of the Outlook email. I had to create an Outlook reminder to follow up, copied to the consultants manager s , at the same time. It was a lot of fun for me to work it all out. Zoho has a free version of their crm that is limited , paid versions offer more customization.
ZohoOne offers 45 apps with it. This article seems more like an Anti Microsoft Access article. While its true that Microsoft access is not upgraded any more. I have been developing in Access since the 90s.
None of those alternative come anywhere close to Access. Word processors spreadsheet applications have all been substituted by other players but not Access so it would be quite ill advised for MS to scrap this. I agree totally. There are better alternatives, but they rely on web programming knowledge, which is not a one stop shop. You have to learn multiple programming languages, and understand web environments, which makes it a hard transition.
I am a lawyer with a love for IT and automation but I do not have the time to do any coding. This is where ms access comes into play for people like me. Is it still relevant in ? It is an amazing tool for the busy professional and extremely useful as a front end, database and reporting tool as there are always matters that need orderly archiving from cases to god-knows.
A web application may at the end of the day be better but it would take a lot of time, effort, and resources to build so you lose agility, time and thus leading to increased costs not to mention the inability to set it up for something expedient in 15 mins. Access is the solution for this scenario. It may be cloud enabled via Remote Desktop Services so that geographically separated users can be handled.
For those who make the effort and have the need, MS Access is a fantastic tool for lots of data transformation and analysis tasks. It always worked and was consistent year after year after year. Spot-on, David. If the free version alternatives could do that, I might just jump from MS-Access altogether.
So here is my problem. I just setup for the first time a acess data base. I am limited to two gigs. Setting up queries is difficult and tome consuming. I need gigs to do all files. What program do I use? Who has more than Two gig ability? I do think it would be wise for Microsoft to expand MS Access storage capacity and cloud compatibility for future releases.
I agree with some of your points. The people developing with MS Access are, without causing offense, of the older generation. I moved to developing with. Developed correctly, MS Access is an incredibly flexible tool. I very rarely have issues with them. One of the best recent features Microsoft brought in, was being able to connect a front-end MS Access database to Sharepoint.
The benefits of this are fantastic. MS Access frontend can switch to local tables, and then replicate the changes over once you have an internet connection. The data is backed up regularly, and can be taken back to different points in time. Stuart — you can actually split your backend tables only into multiple files so you get the full 2 GB for each. I am an Access db developer in the corporate world yes, a publicly traded company does use Access to develop custom apps in , and we use this trick a lot.
Beyond that, you should look into migrating your data tables to a SQL Server db — and link your Access UI front end forms and queries to that backend. This is incredibly easy to do and you can kiss those 2GB file size limits goodbye.
This article is misleading and highly out of touch. Access is extremely flexible and useful in the right context. Even in This is an interesting and eye opening article for me, thanks.
