In this video I will run through the custom web based VB Form Builder I've created using GitHub Copilot and a brilliant css library called 98.css which you can use to make you sites look like an old Windows program.

About

Sometimes you might want to mockup a Form and design something outside of Access, you might not be at a Windows machine or it might not be installed so I've built a web app that allows for this.

Features

• Import/Export options so you can save your work.
• outputs code to generate the Form in VBA, if you wished.
• Basic Form / Report controls
  • Label, TextBox, CommandButton, CheckBox, OptionButton, ComboBox, ListBox, Frame, Image, ToggleButton, Line, TabStrip, SubForm, PageBreak, OptionGroup, ObjectFrame, BoundObjectFrame, Attachment

Example

I took the famous CustomerF from the Blank Template or many other videos you've seen from Rich

And re-built it using this tool.

It's a very rough prototype and not everything works yet, but as a fun side project it was nice to see what could be done.

If there's any features you'd like adding please add a comment down below.
