"Microsoft Graph is the gateway to data and intelligence in Microsoft 365. Microsoft Graph provides a unified programmability model that you can use to take advantage of the tremendous amount of data in Office 365, Enterprise Mobility + Security, and Windows 10.
You can use the Microsoft Graph API to build apps for organizations and consumers that interact with the data of millions of users. With Microsoft Graph, you can connect to a wealth of resources, relationships, and intelligence, all through a single endpoint: https://graph.microsoft.com."

It seems that just about every language except VBA can be used to run this. Access is a database app and it would be great to be able to use it to collect data to feed into, say, Office 365 groups, users and so on.

I have Office Professional 2013.

I have it installed on an Asus Laptop running Windows 8.1.

Also OP 2010 on Windows 7.

I open 99% of my files through "File Explorer" as I have several thousand (files) sorted into numerous sub-folders.

Whenever I open an Access file to check some details and then close it WITHOUT MAKING CHANGES "File Explorer" shows that Access has automatically changed the "Date Modified" to the most recent date and time that I open and then close the file.

This is despite the fact that the last time I may have made a change whether in design or data entry to the file was 2 - 5 years earlier.

This is unbelievably annoying.

Please have the Microsoft programming department make a modification so that the "Modified Date" policy is the same for all Office Professional programs and will only be updated if changes to design or data entries have been made. Please apply this to Access 2010, 2013 and 2016. I like many people have several computers with different Office Pro versions.

I sometimes have several hundred to a thousand files of very similar names and use the Date Modified to sort or get information from them.

Why is it that if you open a MS Word 2013 file and close it without changes there is NO date change to "Date Modified" when you view the file in File Explorer?

or

If you open a MS Excel 2013 file and close it without changes there is NO date change to "Date Modified" when you view the file in File Explorer?

Sometime if you make a change in Excel or Word and then decide against it both programs first ask if you want to update changes and if you say no Word and Excel store the original dates and DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE DATE TO THE MOST CURRENT DATE OF OPENING.

Yet if you open MS Access 2013 and close it without changes there is ALWAYS a date change to "Date Modified" when you view the file in File Explorer?

If a solution currently exists to stop the date from changing when there have not been any changes then I would appreciate knowing how to stop it.

I have gone through the Microsoft Community and other sources and wasted several days to solve this problem but no-one seems to have an answer. In the process of searching I have found many other people frustrated with the date change problem .

Why is there no continuity in Microsofts multiple program designs with respect to this problem.

I have been buying Office Pro & access when it was a separate program for as long as they existed and have always had this problem. I never had this problem when I also used Paradox.

Thank you

I have three version of MS Access - 2013, 2010 and 2007. I need this so if I develop a DB with library references (in particular the MS Excel library) and it has to work in an earlier version of Access (so if I developed it in 2013 but it has to work in 2010) I have to open it in 2010 and make sure the references are not missing before giving it to a user. I have tried multiple times to write code that will try and remove the missing reference and add a valid one but why? These are both MS products (Excel & Access). Why can’t Access recognize the user has a different version of Excel and relink the library itself? Outlook and PowerPoint references seem to be OK – it is just Excel.

Hello Team,
The Standard Version of Office runs really cool without any doubt on a MAC. But there are millions of MAC users who don't use MAC for Graphics or Animation development but instead look at it as a Stable Machine that can run MS-OFFICE...(Wink).
The real crux in the MAC Office version is MS-Access which when integrated with Outlook is a perfect combination. But the sad part is its missing and only you can make it happen.
There are Millions of Applications out there which should be running on a MAC which really aren't cause there is no MAC version of MS-Access available, this way MS-Access as I see can get more popularity, stability(Less Crashes) and a New Environment on the MAC Network.
Will truly appreciate if you could look into creating a MAC Version of Access.
This will be a dream come true.

Thank you in advance.

ULS was a pain and way too many people implemented it incorrectly but it did serve a function which we have lost. People who develop Access apps for others need a way to completely lock down the FE. The .accde doesn't cut it because users can still modify tables, queries, and macros. We need something that acts like the .accdr but which isn't a trick. I understand why creating an .exe is not an option but you should be able to create a "permanent" format that acts like .accdr but which can't be undone by simply renaming the file. That would actually encourage developers to create more shrink-wrapped apps that are sold to the public if they can be assured that their intellectual property is protected.
