OK, enough of COM controls and VBA programming. The controls need a complete overhaul that look like and act like year 2017 controls not 1981 controls. We need more controls that you would find in .net interface. The chart control, datashets and almost all other controls need to be moved out of the COM world. Creating a dashboard in near impossible with the current controls and layout handling.

Also VBA is ok but very limited compared to .net. Both are your products why not integrate them.

We need a true grid control, better comboboxs, true PDF support, better and attractive chart controls, true drag and drop, ability to control ODBC field types (most the time they are the cast to the wrong type) and again attractive controls that users demand.

Access is a great piece of software but it so badly need a update to bring it back to life. Look at DevExpress controls, wow, we love them for .net but Access takes so much of the hassles out of database programming that it would be our first choice.

Currently, when I'm in a form's textbox and I instinctively hit Ctrl+A to select all text (just like any other Windows application), nothing happens. Or so you may think, in fact everything happens! All records get selected, and if you dare hit the wrong button while you think you have selected all text of the textbox, woe is unto you.

Should Access really be different from all other programs out there? Why should a user think that when in a textbox and hitting ctrl+A it won't select the text?

Of course, there are workarounds (like a VBA function that hijacks the shortcut), but simply selecting all text should be the default.
