This Visual How To Article refers to a sample Access 2010 database called CalendarDemo.accdb that contains a form that can be used to replace the calendar control no longer supported in Access 2010. Efforts to date have failed to discover how we can obtain this sample. Any Ideas? I have an Access 2003 system that heavily relies on the old control, now disabled by this change. Here's the article: msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg251104.aspx.

Snapshot gone? Bad move.... So many things disappearing. I download invoices from a vendor every morning......pdf... Takes SO long its frustrating...Thats why I use Snapshot. I am hearing a call for web based apps.. Not for mega money corporations with sharepoint... For small to medium size businesses. By the 2010 version we could have had a very nice little program for creating online DB's... BUT... MS is stuck on integrating a nicely priced program (Access) with mega dollar program (sharepoint), out of the reach of most small to medium businesses.

And nothing here for developers... Except the desire to move to another product.

Whose idea was it to eliminate the Calendar control? I agree that it isn't needed for forms but what about in reports? I have a dashboard that contains six calendars for these dates: Document Received, Questions Due Date, Review Date 1, Review Date 2, Ship Date, and Document Due Date. Will it be possible to use the OCX that is now in 2007 in AC2010? Also, has the export-to-RTF feature been fixed? Or better yet, does 2010 export to standard Word files? Now the exporter moves text wherever it likes and even drops text willy-nilly. It can't be trusted. And have you implemented WBS codes in 2010? I have had to create workarounds for this since 2003. Thanks. David

I would like to see better integration between Access Reports and Powerpoint. I need to create frequently changing presentations that could have the data and images fed from Access.

Q: Whether it is limited to 2 gigabytes not only database but also other files, for example the files received as a result of export of reports in XPS, PDF formats and on temporary work files?

OTOH, please, make reports editable (eg. Word-format). That would be great enhancement. But don't forget to export all the graphics! Current export to RTF is just a joke. :-(

Thanks for the heads up. I am sure that there will be some cool new features that we can use to enhance existing Access solutions.

>have it show a map based on the address in the record. In acces 2010, this is easy with the new web contorl we have. The new web browser control in access allows one to use a column from the database that is an URL to an web site. So you can store an url that represents and displays the the map location, or create an expression that represents an URL for taracking. Take a look at the following video of mine for access 2010. Note in the video how I display the current weather (temperature) for the current location. This was accomplished by dropping in the web browser control, and then binding the control to a column in the database with the URL for that location. www.youtube.com/watch The new web browser control works for both client (VBA) applications, or 100% browser based applications you build in ms-acces. So, yes you can do this in 2010, and you don't need any code at all. You are free to use code to "create" the URL that feeds the display in the form if you wish.
