Faster CTRL+F datasheet functionality
Sometimes when I do a CTRL+F search on a column in datasheet mode, it takes much longer to complete than if I apply a column filter that does more or less the same thing. I suggest that you re-program your CTRL+F search function so that it makes use of query filters, to make it work faster.

Add a second email line to allow for business and personal emails
I need to input both business and personal email addresses when I receive them. So having an Email 1 and Email 2 line would be fantastic even if the Email 2 line is optional.

Fix: runtime error 7771 when using VBA ColumnOrder in MS Access 2016
I am trying to arrange datasheet columns for users, when a form loads. I have code (in a module) that sets the "ColumnOrder" property, using the OnLoad trigger for the form.
I receive the runtime error '7771':
"You can't set the ColumnOrder property when you are in Form view or PrintPreview."I'm also updating ColumnHidden, and ColumnWidth, using data saved in a table, so that users can save their datasheet view settings and have them regardless of which desktop they're working on. This is an access front end, linked to a SQL server storage.

Protect data
It needs to be more difficult to accidentally delete data in the database. I don't know how you do this, but all I know is Access automatically saves changes even when I don't want it to. If I accidentally delete something, it's gone forever.

Link Relationships Between Groups of People
For example, I use access as a work tool. It would be great if I were able to put the contact of a Research PI as one person and then put the whoever else working in the lab as a separate contact but be able to electronically link the names to the Research PI so that when I pull the PI's name up I can see who else is working in the lab.

For medium bandwidth connections to SQL Server attached tables speed issue
For medium/lower bandwidth connections to SQL Server attached tables, Access datasheet performance (scrolling, window refreshes) slows down when "allow additions" is set to false and "allow edits" is true. If set to true but set to false on form open, the performance is good.

When a datasheet is filtered, the download button should respect the filter.
If a user has selected the rows that they are interested in by means of the filters on the datasheet they will expect that the download will deliver a spreadsheet with those rows. Instead they are getting the full list of records and must repeat the filter in excel.

Have a 'Total' Option
If you select part of a column in Excel, it will provide a total as well as the number of rows selected.
It would be great to have this feature in Access.

Editable Crosstab Control (Bound to underlying tables)
My idea is similar to the one called "Provide a native grid control similar to the visual studio gridview or even the old flexgrid" EXCEPT I want it to be a BOUND crosstab that is editable. This blog describes how to fake an editable crosstab, but it is a lot of work http://alisadev.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-fake-editable-crosstab-in.html. My best example is that for a school, they want to view the grades in a grid, but be able to edit them. Classes go down the side, Quarters go across the top, and Grades will be in the middle. When the user is hand-entering the…
