    Access Europe User Group - Wed 8 Jan: Developing COM Add-Ins for Access (Philipp Stiefel)

    The next Access Europe User Group meeting will be on Wednesday 8 Jan 2025 starting at 18:00 UK time (6PM UTC) and finishing by 19:30 (7.30PM).
    Note that the date is one week later than normal to avoid clashing with New Year celebrations.

    In this presentation, former MVP, Philipp Stiefel will demonstrate how to develop COM add-ins for Microsoft Access.




    COM add-ins can be used to extend the development environment of Microsoft Access with additional functionality.

    Philipp will show the key elements of creating COM add-ins for Microsoft Access.
    The same principles can also be applied to create COM add-ins for other Microsoft Office desktop applications, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

    The add-in demos will be in Visual Basic .Net, but the key concepts are independent of the programming language for implementation.

    Questions answered by this presentation include:
    • What is COM?
    • What are add-ins for Microsoft Access?
    • What’s the difference between COM add-ins and “classic“ Access add-ins?
    • What is the role of the Windows Registry with COM add-ins?
    • How to integrate add-in functionality into Microsoft Access?

    I hope you will join us on Wed 8 Jan for this session. For local start times, please check https://www.worldtimebuddy.com
