The method we used to descend from orbit to the surface of an alien world worked, but it would have been far more efficient and far less traumatic if we could just beam down.

Compact & Repair, Short v Long Text, Field Sizes


 S  M  L  XL  FS  

I just released THREE (3) new Microsoft Access videos that teach you about Compacting & Repairing your databases, the differences between Short and Long text (and improvements over the old Memo field) and Short Text Field Sizes and how they've changed. 

Even I learned a few new things while researching and preparing these videos! So whether you're a beginner at Access or you've been writing VBA code for decades like I have, check these out. You'll most likely learn something new too!

FREE VIDEOS:
Text Field Sizes
Compact & Repair
Short Text v. Long Text

Then after those, I created a video for members that's almost 3 hours long. I show how I analyzed the efficiency of Microsoft Access when it comes to storing short v. long text field data, compact & repair, and more. I build two databases, one to control the other. You will see how this was all done: opening another database, controlling it with a settings.txt file, reading and writing text files, compact and repair in VBA, reading file sizes, deleting an renaming files, and using recordsets to add records to a table. LOTS of stuff in this one!
