New Add-In for Microsoft Access to Run on Most Platforms: Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, Linux, More!

THIS IS AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE. I'm updating the description here since so many people don't seem to have a sense of humor. If you miss this now, well, that'll teach you to read video descriptions from now on, won't it?

Run your Microsoft Access databases on almost any platform. I'm introducing my new add-in for Microsoft Access that allows you to run your database on almost any platform including Android, macOS, Linux, and more.

For years, Microsoft has had versions of the other Office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook available for other platforms, or even online in your web browser. However my favorite application, Microsoft Access, never seems to get any love.

Well, I've decided to change all that. After almost 2 years of work, I've come up with a Microsoft Access Add-In that will allow you to run your Access database on almost every popular platform. Just install the add-in and you can compile your database to run as a native application on almost any operating system.

- Windows
- Linux
- Android
- macOS & iOS
- and more!

You can download a copy of my add-in absolutely free. Just visit my web site:

Of course if you have any questions or comments, please free free to contact me or post them below. Thank you!

Great Job Richard! I thought it was impossible to have such thing.

[glennpreston]

Fuming but super entertained at the same time. Didn't see it coming at all 🤣🤣

April 1st is April Fools, I get it;) For next year I wish you get us an add-on that makes Access run on my great-granddad's rusty steam engine that I still have under a pile of rubbish in our garden shed.

You had me going! It's still the 31st for me in my time zone!!

I have a database I use and changed and developed over years since the nineties, but it now is such a mess backend, runs reports and has macros, sometimes via, sometimes runs buttons based on external links etc to open outlook to send emails, so it probabaly won’t work on the web let alone on other devices like an iPhone as it’s all based around user interface for old square screens, and need occasional export to Pc excel so how can this even go back to the main Pc for editing r updating the database on these other platforms. I guess need total rewrite but that scares me as so many little bits and pieces. or perhaps there is a way to share it via a server in house or online? It’s still in one database as I’m always tweak8ng the forms or tables, so isn’t even split because I don’t know best practice on changing from two places. Is there a forum I can find independent programmers (on people per hour they all seem like they offer access but they also offer so many other things so I don’t believe they a real access experts but just dabble in it), to help me either get it online or on a reasonably priced server so more than one people can use it concurrently as well as allowing me to update and edit in future easily (hence I don’t want it converted to SQL server or something else hard a novice like me can’t use)l

You're the MAN!! Thank you so much!!

[shooter]

Wow! You have answered my prayers!

Of course, I bought and installed Parallels just the other day, so there goes $$ out the window!

Thanks, Richard...you're the BEST!!

[PCJ]

Oh...painful! I had already formulated a plan for what I was going to do first before I realized it was a joke. My wife will be very amused. 😂

[terryvandendungen]

Thank you and just in time for us. I want to use access to track the financial side of a Billiard League. And this will help.

[nickikelly]

You really sucked me in on this one! I enjoy referencing your videos. Too bad, I really could use this one.

[shadow]

Ok once you got to the Tandy part I started to wonder if todays date has anything to do with this!

[-ProSystem]

Please explain how to connect access
On an external server or a static IP address
This allows users to enter data from anywhere
thank u Sir

[afpd]

You got me. I am ready even to pay for that.

[Sinbadizzy]

Ugh, but how to actually create an access dab on macOS? I miss using access.

[cruzinsweetsntreats]

I'm very interested in trying it out for Android, as it's easier to enter data out on the fly, than to remember to play catch up, once at home.

how can you be so crazy are you gone out of your mind
