UtterAccess is now on Twitter!

We will present topics such as various UA announcements; Code Archive submissions; Wiki Articles; and other informative tidbits about Access and other tools and applications we discuss here in UtterAccess Forums.

Our Twitter handle is @UtterAccess

We added a "Follow @UtterAccess" button to the forum and the wiki header. In addition, we added a "Share" (Tweet) button on each topic's subject line and on the Wiki's articles to allow you to share content you find interesting with others (you will need a Twitter account to do so).

We also "adopted" two hash tags: #UAForums & #UAWiki to be used in your tweets when referring to UtterAccess content.

All of our members are welcome to join us and follow @UtterAccess.

As usual, questions and/or suggestions are welcome.

Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif)

Please join me in congratulating Jack Leach (jleach) for his MVP award.

Jack Leach joined UtterAccess in December 2009, and since has became a familiar face around here, answering countless questions. He has worked tirelessly to improve the UtterAccess Wiki since it first opened, and shared his contributions with the world.

Thank you, Jack for all you've done for the UA community and here's to continued recognition for what you've done for us.

It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of three additional UtterAccess Editors from the UA VIP group.

(in alphabetical order)

[*] cpetermann (Cynthia)
[*] datAdrenaline (Brent)
[*] jleach (Jack)


The three are involved in the Wiki and in the Code Archive, so we figured we'll put them to work around the other parts of the plane as well. Please join me in congratulating them on their hard labor sentence newly minted position and responsibilities.

Congratulations to all of you and welcome aboard. Please remember to sign up for the new catalog and donate to the wine fund (the UA plane does not run on fuel alone).

We’re pleased to announce publication of a new, first-of-its-kind, book on Access 2010 and SharePoint 2010.

UtterAccess members and administrators Ben Clothier and George Hepworth have teamed with Tim Runcie, a former Access MVP and current Project MVP, to write “Microsoft Access in a SharePoint World”. Tim’s company, Advisicon, is publishing the book.

MASW covers the essentials of working with Access 2010 and SharePoint 2010 to create data-driven, web-enabled databases that run in the browser from a SharePoint Site. The goal was to place Access in context within the SharePoint world, so the book includes additional discussions about the other wonderful tools SharePoint brings to the table: project management, document management, and team collaboration.

MASW assesses the suitability of Access as a web or client solution in a SharePoint world and shows how they are a natural fit.

MASW also addresses design considerations that may challenge experienced developers designing a Access web application for the first time.

MASW discusses using Access as a client to SharePoint data, which offers several advantages, such as working offline, seamless synchronization, and a high level of integration. The book also addresses the ramifications of choosing SharePoint as a data source and the difference between SharePoint's architecture and ODBC data sources.

Finally, MASW offers a brief glimpse into using SharePoint tools such as SharePoint Designer and InfoPath and manipulating the SharePoint object model with SOAP and JavaScript to make your Access on SharePoint databases more professional, and conclude with a discussion of security and deployment.

For more details or to buy the book, you can visit the Advisicon store store. Tim has offered discount of $10 off to the first 10 buyers—use coupon code "save10bucks".

Congrats Gents!

It is with great sadness that I tell you about Nate Oliver's (NateO) passing. He was a longtime member of UtterAccess, MrExcel forums, Microsoft MVP for Excel, and a good friend to many. Attached are two zip files (~1.5mb each) with several pictures of Nate and other UA members. Here are more pictures on my skydrive

Nate was always here on UtterAccess to answer Excel and automation questions. Nate taught me CopyFromRecordset and so much more. Many of the code snippets I have came from him. We would connect sometimes and share information -- always laughed a lot. I knew Nate for several years, we were good friends. I looked forward to seeing Nate each year at the Microsoft MVP Summits, watching him wipe all the balls off a pool table, and having good times. I loved Nate like a brother. Goodbye, my friend and colleague, you will be missed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif)
