I have been posting to Twitter for a while, then it happened...

Hi there

I have been posting to twitter for a very long time, and never thought in my entire life my tweet, about MS Access will receive so much traction and even Twitter felt obliged to tell me about it.

I guess I should not under-estimate MS-Access fans out there. This is absolutely crazy!!!

I guess what we want may not necessary be what other people want.

Interesting...

Some of my custom client projects use a MS-Access database.

Instead of having to pay for a full licensed copy of Office to make changes to a database on remote PC's, I use this freeware:

MDB Viewer Plus for Windows - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download

Download MDB Viewer Plus latest version for Windows free. MDB Viewer Plus latest update: August 26, 2025

download.cnet.com

And this looks like a new alternative:

MDB Admin

Download MDB Admin for free. A complete tool for creating and managing MSAccess databases. MDB Admin allows you to open, visualize and edit MSAccess databases (MDB or ACCDB files) without having Access installed. You can also install MDB Admin using winget: winget install...
