Microsoft Access 2024 for Windows – fast and affordable at Softwareindustrie24

Microsoft Access 2024 is the latest version of Microsoft's renowned database management software, which enables users to create, manage, and share efficient and powerful database solutions. With a host of improvements and new features, Access 2024 sets new standards in database management and offers a flexible and user-friendly platform for both beginners and experienced developers.

What is Microsoft Access?

Microsoft Access is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It allows users to create, manage, and analyze databases without requiring extensive programming knowledge. With Access, you can organize data in tables, create queries, design forms, and generate reports to effectively use and present your data.

New features in Microsoft Access 2024

The 2024 version of Microsoft Access brings numerous improvements and new features that increase the efficiency and user-friendliness of the software. The most important new features are presented in detail below.

Access Data Reverse Connector with Power Platform

One of the most significant new features in Access 2024 is the introduction of the Access Data Reverse Connector with Power Platform. This feature enables organizations to develop mobile solutions and achieve seamless integration with Microsoft Teams. By connecting Access to cloud-based storage, you can maintain the value and usability of Access while enjoying the benefits of the cloud.

Integration of the Microsoft Edge browser control

Access 2024 introduces a new Microsoft Edge browser control that allows you to specify a URL and display web pages directly in a form. This greatly expands the possibilities for data presentation and interactivity within your Access applications.

Support for large address ranges (Large Address Aware)

The 32-bit version of Access 2024 has been updated to Large Address Aware (LAA). This increases the maximum available address space for Access from 2 GB to 4 GB when running on a 64-bit version of Windows. This is particularly useful when running complex Access applications, as more memory is available.

Digital signature for Access databases and VBA code

With Access 2024, you can digitally sign your databases and VBA code. The “Tools/Digital Signature” command in the VBA IDE (Integrated Development Environment) has been enabled for current Access database formats. By signing a database, VBA code can be executed even if the Trust Center settings specify that only digitally signed code should be enabled.

Improved SQL view and query management

Access 2024 offers improvements in the SQL view, including the ability to use the “Find and Replace” dialog box to find and replace text in an SQL statement. In addition, a new option has been added to the context menu for query objects in the navigation pane that allows you to switch directly to the SQL view for the selected query.

Optimized management of linked tables

The warning message that appears when you try to open a linked table in Design view now includes a “Don't show this message again” option. You can re-enable message confirmations by selecting the “Linked/Read-Only Tables” option in the “Confirm” section of “File > Options > Client Settings.”

Increased capacity for open tables and connections

The maximum number of open tables has been increased from 2,048 to 4,096. In addition, the maximum number of available connections has been increased from 256 to 512. This allows for more efficient management of large databases and improves performance when working with multiple tables and connections.

New Northwind Starter and Developer Edition templates

Access 2024 introduces two new templates: Northwind Starter Edition and Northwind Developer Edition. These templates are designed to teach users the basics of using Access as a database. Using a sales tracking system, many Access features such as forms, a standard dashboard, and reports with charts are introduced. The Developer Edition extends the Starter Edition and demonstrates advanced techniques for creating comprehensive solutions with Access.

Improvements to the Relationships window

The Relationships window in Access 2024 has been improved to enhance usability. You can quickly adjust the table size to display more fields and relationships, select a subset of tables and relationships, and scroll horizontally and vertically using the mouse wheel.

Improvements to the query designer

The query designer has been enhanced with new time-saving options for table objects. In query design view, you can right-click a table to select options such as “Open,” “Design View,” or “Resize” to make your work more efficient.
