I wish I knew!
I ask the question myself because of a recent question put to me in my YouTube Channel and which I answered in my previous post:
Now, I got the answer to the question itself, but the answer then made me truly no longer understand Build Numbers!
Recently, on my YouTube channel, @user-do9yi7gs4u asked when the (Microsoft Access) Modern Web Browser control would be available for Enterprise users.
So, several days ago I put the question to the Access Dev Team. I just heard back and here is the planned release cycle breakdown:
Since Click-to-run (CTR or C2R) came out, one of the fundamental questions anyone trying to help out other users with their problems asks is:
The problem is this question seems so mundane, yet it can be very confusing!
I’ve previously covered the subject
That said, I never covered the issue of 2 distinct values appearing at time and thought it important to clarify the difference and which is the correct one to refer to.
It helps us determine if there are known bugs with that specific release. Each update, so each build, bring along new bugs and by telling us the Version and Build we can check known issues to either determine, or eliminate the potential of a bug causing the issue.
It also helps us try and reproduce such bugs and report them to Microsoft (it’s typically one of the first questions they ask of us! 🙂 ).
It’s similar to say buying tires, you have to tell the shop what make/model of car you have to purchase the right ones. Same for Office/Access, the make and model equate to the Version and Build and this tell us what flavor of Access you are driving! This way we can better gear our help towards the specifics of your make/model.
For any of you trying to get a grasp of the new Modern Web Browser control, beyond my set of articles on the subject found here, I have also started to release a YouTube series of videos. Below is a direct link to the Modern Web Browser playlist:
Some of you may have already noticed, but this week I launched a new YouTube Playlist entitled ‘Microsoft Windows Tutorials‘. You can access that specific Playlist by using the following link:
Over the years, I have seen countless posts regarding images in reports rendering very pixelate images even though the image itself was of decent quality & displayed and printed fine in other applications.
Access seems to always render default bmp, wmf or ico formats, but outside of those things can get dicey at times.
Some have said this issue became more of an issue when Office 2007 came out. I can neither confirm nor deny this claim.
Now there are plenty of suggestions out there, and there were some fixes put out over the years (images not rendering at all, …), but today I thought I’d offer up another potential workaround.
I’ve been exploring Access/DataVerse recently for a client, it hasn’t been a fun process in the least, but I’ve already covered some of that in my prior postings:
Today, I was trying to Access the tables through the Power Apps site and received the following error:
The environment ‘xxxxxxxxx’ could not be found in the tenant ‘xxxxxxxxx’.Power Apps
Just sharing my personal experience in case it might help others.
I have employed Virtual Machines for a long time now, easily 10+ years. It is the way to work, no question about it!
I started out using Microsoft Virtual PC back in the days of Windows XP. At some point in time, and I’m sure I had a good reason for it (probably when Windows stopped supporting Virtual PC), I purchased and started using VMWare’s WorkStation and have been doing so for years now. I started with V12 and upgraded to V14, V15.
For those of you Web App developers, here’s how you setup PHP so you can work with an Azure SQL Database.
It’s a 3 part process, beyond your actual PHP code:
I recently published one of my YouTube “Quick Tip” videos on how we can easily highlight the active control using conditional formatting, so no code required!
I quickly received a comment about wanting to emulate what is done is Web Apps, that is to change the border rather than the background itself. So I thought I’d explore that briefly.
