Table Driven Modern Menus

In a continuation of my article on Improving the Microsoft Access Interface

Modernizing The Microsoft Access Interface!
Some people have asked me what I’ve been working on and so I thought I’d share a sneak peak. Basically, I’ve been working on trying to elevate the Access interface a bit and have been working on a few new menus concepts and thus developing content, demos for my blog and YouTube channel.

I recently released a YouTube video in which I demonstrated how we could take a static menu and switch it to be table/data driven.

So I thought I’d share a small demo database for those of you that wish to explore this approach further.

Taking Things Even Further

It would be very easy to take things even further with this example by creating a permissions table to assign users/groups to each item and then in the menu generation function validate the current user against those value to control if the item should be included, or not.

So lots more options here!
