Currently, if a database is opened through code, it requires gymnastics to avoid running startup stuff. It would be nice for Access to have EnableEvents like Excel does

thank you

Lots of system help forms (i.E. on Query the search table or the references form in VBA to search DLLs ) are far too small and the user cannot resizre them, why ? Just allow to pull them bigger would help

Instead of separate window where coding takes place outside of form design, have it as a window positionable beside or below the form design.

These buttons would work they way they do in other Office products.

Also, rename Align Left|Right|Top|Bottom for objects to include the word object. Align Left, for instance, is the tooltip for 2 very different things.

It would be nice if Intellisense/Builder would recognize Table/Query Aliases

There are lots of commands to choose for the QAT and finding what you want can take time. It would be nice to be able to filter the choices

Excel has an option to save and restore the workspace, which is very convenient for opening all the files and positioning them where they were before. With Access, of course, this would be objects in the current database instead of files.

Why not have an OpenArgs parameter like in docmd.openform ? Would enable to react in forms based on OpenArgs - especially helpful when you want to open a form on several places with different actions.

In Queries, it would be nice to be able to reference a value in a record relative to the current one.

For instance, many times it is required to get a difference in a changed value

When exporting, it would be nice to be able to choose how data in form/page headers/footers will be treated:

1. as displayed
2. only at top and bottom
3. do not include

especially for RTF and formats that will end up in Word

I add SaveAs to my QAT -- but it would be nice if it was there by default.

When Save As (for object) from the backstage or whatever it is being these days, does NOT show what you are looking at -- this makes naming difficult.

It would be nice to have an option to Close All but the active object ... Close All would be ok too!

In queries, when there are multiple records for criteria, it would be nice if we could specify to just get the first record matching a certain condition but show all records matching criteria for the query.

Example:
list of all last order dates for a customer

the docmd.sendobject ist too limited.
html formated Mail-Body is essential and easy sending attached files.
the object should be robust, and retry sending if the mailserver is not available.
If the existing Rich Text Control would support Pictures it would be perfect to use it as a mail Editor.
That would be great!

To apply filter easily
data source: values of the segment : sql
child object : subform in continhous mode
field father:child
Sorry for my poor english

In MS Access its easy to add descriptions to fields in table editor. These descriptions are neither taken over when using ssma nor are they brought back to Access when already existing in sql server.

I've written a vba-script that creates an T_SQL script to create all field descriptions of a table. But even if descriptions exists they are not reshown in the linked table.

I've narrowed down the issue, when the "Property Sheet" on the right is shown RDP lag time is in the seconds, hide the "Property Sheet" and it's back to full speed.

Using latest stable Access 365. Please fix.

Is it possible to make Alt + J,K,L,I perform left, right, up, down movements throughout windows, please. It's so much more convenient when typing, you wouldn't need to use your mouse, or move your hand away from the letters to navigate to a word. In addition Alt + H = Home and Alt + ; = End. Hope this is a valid feature to add to windows, regards...

I understand this would require a re-wickering of Access forms, but this is difficult to accomplish in Access without some serious workarounds. At least have something like a Dialogresult property as in .Net so the user can get simple values from the dialog form when closed.
