ACCESS FOREVER

As a result of the recent (re)nominations, there are two new names among this year's Access MVPs.

How we recently learned that the Current Channel is one of the M365 update channels that Microsoft uses for experimentation, and what that means for Access users.

With the introduction of the Zoom Slider, Microsoft Access now offers the same intuitive zoom capabilities found in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This practical enhancement improves day-to-day usability and is available in forms opened in Form or Datasheet View, as well as in tables, queries, and reports in Print Preview.

At Access DevCon in mid-April, the Microsoft Access team showed interesting new features. We're providing a report and video clips from their presentation.

Microsoft announced the retirement of Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel in July 2026. What does that mean for Access users, developers, system admins?

New SysCmd actions give detailed version info and are now available in Current Channel version 2604 19929.20090 released on 2026-04-21.
