Access 15 Developer Kitchen: Call for Participation

We are holding the Access sessions of the Office 15 Developer Kitchen on March 28-31 and are looking for Access developers to share their early experiences with us.

The Developer Kitchen is an on-campus event where a small group of our customers use our very early bits and their ingenuity to create Access solutions.  This lab experience will give us great feedback and help guide the next stage of our products.

  • I am sure the event will be very very good. Unfortunatly I can not participate.

  • I would like Access team to consider improving the following features in Access 15.

    1. "Charts" component. Make Charts in Access Forms and Reports similar to Excel Charts.

    2. Improve working with SQL Server data through ODBC connection.

    3. Improve Local data cache and sychronization of Access frontend with Sharepoint and SQL Server Backend. Our offices are distributed through the country, and quite often wide area networks are not reliable.

    4. Create Access Database Moble Edition for Office Mobile Programs running on Handheld devices and Netbooks. We have used handheld devices in many remote areas.

    5. Improve Access reports and make them easier to use than Crystal Reports.
