[AccessD] Access Development Future

[Gustav Brock]

Hi David

We still maintain a handful of Access applications, and two of these are only three years old but tightly related to the other three, so Access was the natural choice.

For new applications we use Blazor web apps heavily assisted by Claude Code, which is a totally amazing tool at the ridiculous cost of EUR 18 per month.
Initially, I went with Copilot as my "code assistant" but, as usual, Microsoft has a special ability to shoot itself in the foot by suddenly increasing the cost and, again as usual, to wrap licensing into non-transparent license rules and administration.

Greetings Listers,



All has been quiet on the Access front.



I am interested on how many of us are still supporting Access applications?
Has AI made a major difference to existing client databases or is there
still a niche for our work in smaller businesses that don't have the funds
to take advantage of the latest technologies?
