[AccessD] CDec behaviour in SQL and VBA

Fri Jul 10 15:53:28 CDT 2015

 Hi Gustav --

Yes, I'm logged-in. I do see Product Directory items here  https://connect.microsoft.com/directory/  and for MS Office, here  https://connect.microsoft.com/directory/office/  , - I do see just one entry "Migration for SharePoint Online". Do you see more?

Thank you.
