TRYING TO BUILD A LOGIN BUTTON/PASSWORD
Hi there, I hope you will be able to help me. I am very new to access and managed to build a small database for my work, mainly from watching you tube videos and reading google information however, I want to start upping the anti a little more by adding a level of security so users need to input a user name and password to gain access to the database. My first stumbling block is the 'build event'. Whenever I right click on my login button, it takes me to the macro screen yet when I watch videos online, you get the option to select code builder, I cannot for the life of me see how to change this, any advise please would be greatly received. Many thanks, Andy
Moving Away from MS Access
The organization I work for is wanting to move away from Microsoft Access databases where possible, and we have started exploring what tools our current Access databases could be moved to. Is there a standard for what works best (Powerapps, Sharepoint, etc)? What have you found to be a good resource for guidance on this topic? Thanks!
Transitioning From Access To Web Sites
I have a question for the individuals out there that are moving to a web interface from Access What it the best app/program to use to make the move from using Access to using web pages? I've been tasked with converting the Access app that I have been working with for years to make it a web "site", which would be converting the entire application - forms, reports, etc. so that it can be used via web browser instead of MS Access. I am in no means a website developer, but I'm always open to learning new things. Mind you, one of the databases has in excess of 12K lines of VBA. I want to be able to use some of the same techniques as what I've done with VBA and to be able to create a good user experience on the front end plus create some additional enhancements. Al of my searches have not yielded anything helpful. Thanks in advance. Jeff

Copilot, Access, and VBA
I don't know how many of you use Copilot to assist you with Access. I developed my own application using Copilot and it was extremely helpful. I recommend you give it a try to see if it can help you. Here is an article I wrote on it in case you're interested: https://medium.com/@jmsp4home/did-my-own-spending-income-tracking-software-using-microsoft-copilot-heres-why-and-how-it-went-1aa8b4814cca?source=friends_link&sk=64ebb3ecf7e5b19c05d1731a571b1001IsMissing not working since last update
I use a few optional parameters here and there, and check to see if they have a value with the IsMissing function. As of the last update (around 11/5/24) it's no longer working. I can check to see if there is a value, and in the case of a string I can check for an empty string, but I would like not to have to recode my database. Anyone else have this issue, or is it just me? Solutions?
