When connecting to a commercial database such as Oracle, it may be trouble if all the columns of the table are not displayed.

The Adobe PDF-Format allows to implement form-fields. This fields could be filled in by the receiver of the PDF-File.

In my opinion it would be great to generate an PDF-File with Access with form-fields. If the data from Access could be pre-filled in, this would be great.

The generated PDF could then be sent via Email to a client. The missing data could be filled in direct with Adobe Reader and then printed out.

At the moment the PDF-Export just generate an PDF-File without form-fields.

Con Project Nucleus las listas se sincronizarían con una BD local con lo se podría trabajar sin conexión y se eliminarían los problemas de las listas demasiado largas. Si esto funcionara también con las listas vinculadas, Sharepoint se convertiría en un estupendo back-end para Access.

As per Excel, it would be great to highlight and distinguish field data between the records displayed. Currently, if a format is set on a field, in a continuous form, the entire column receives that format, whether or not the data value contained, matches the criteria.

modern optical effects like in Windows 10 or modern webpages would heavily improve the value of created Apllications.
Better Mouseover-Effects for Buttons, Fading Effects for Forms....
it would be great!

The Vertical Text property rotates text 90º but it is not possible to rotate 270º or other. There are many people searching for this feature over the internet for years now, but there has been no solution for this feature built in access until now. There are many workarounds, but very complicated. Hope more people find this usefull

I would like to make an access project (database and its associated forms and reports), upload it to a microsoft cloud, and to be able to access it via web and mobile phones. Is it currently possible?

When creating objects such as forms and reports it would useful to be able to have a dialogue form where you can key in notes and a date to keep documentation current. Have a few columns for date, user notes and developer notes. On the ribbon, have a notes icon which will open the notes to the current object for display and edit. Have it link to the ID Field in Msysobject table.

Replace/remove Ribbons out of Access (or better out entire Office).
Nearly every, even the smallest little and tiny application has an better menu structure than this space taking ugly ribbon thing. Besides, now we must conclude that after 8 years of introduction there is still no decent ribbon builder included within Access it is time to get rid of it. Lets say, it was a nice try, but let's return to something better please.

Shortcut menus are very usefull and after access 2003 the interface for creating them has removed.You have to bring it back.

I have never understood why after all the effort put into compiling Forms and Code in Compiled Access databases and then they leave the Navigation Pane exposed so that all Tables are revealed and accessible to end users. Sure you can hide the Navigation pane but anybody can go into Options and reveal that Pane.

This has been a major negative to Access for me for years ....

When a tablet or PC goes into sleep mode any active form looses its connection to the database backend (I am using SQL Server). This is very annoying in tablet environments where the PC is frequently switched to sleep mode. Make it so that Access can detect a reawaken from sleep and refresh the connection automatically rather than leave an error so that the user doesn't have to log off and reload the screen.

When you are in the VBA Code Editor, and you want to refer to a field on the form, you have to flip back to the form to find the field name before you can use it.

It would life so much easier if the field names were listable in the code module in the View option as per the Object Command on the Form's Design View.

When using the Button wizard MS Access creates macroes as default. This should be an option if you prefeer macroes or vb as the event code.

If we open any VBA module (either a module or the one in code-behind-forms), one of the choices we have is pointing the Jet or Ace engine to the correct Reference Library. This dialog box is very small and should be bigger by default. Ideally it should be sizable and Access should remember the size where we left it. That would be NICE!

Currently we are having to use custom modules to disable the main access window although these work their the cleanest way of doing things, would it be possible to add a function in the options menu to hide the Main Access window and only show Popup forms and reports.
