The Access Easter Egg
Richard Rost 
          
2 years ago
Did you know that older versions of Microsoft Access included an Easter egg? By performing a series of specific steps, users could reveal a hidden game called Magic Eight Ball. This was one of many fun hidden features Microsoft developers used to include in their software.

Great, I need a concise application that does what the documentation says, with minimal bugs and instead we get games. I guess this means they didn't take Access seriously?

This would make a fun Tech Help (using VBA, of course).

Here is the response I got from 103 possible responses from the question I asked. LOL

Note: I haven't made things look pretty yet.

I plan to switch to your Universal Dialog Box so I can have complete control over the look and feel of the response.

Q. How many responses did the original Magic Eight Ball have in the creepy colored liquid?

Q. How many licks...

Does anyone remember the toy Time Bomb?
Q. How many ticks in the bomb, when fully wound, until the bang/snap?

I'm sure that toy was ultimately banned, because several school mates were thusly introduced to the wonderful world of making real explosives. Crystals that would dry and blow the hinges on the heavy school hallway doors were a quite popular experiment after the novice use of cherry bombs to destroy toilets. Ahhh, the fun old days before domestic terrorist laws.

I've read how mooning or peeing behind a building can now also get you a lifetime tag as being a sexual offender.

I made some modifications so I could have some predefined questions (10 at present). I also added a Speaker table which has 6 different speakers (going to add more).
