Access Europe – Thomas Möller (State-of-the-art charts in Access with chart.js)

Please join us for our monthly Access Europe session on Wed 1 Feb 2023 at 18:00 (6:00PM) London time (UTC)

———————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Topic Outline

Microsoft Access needs significant improvements to its charting feature.

The original ‘classic’ charts in Access date from the 1990s.

A few years ago, Microsoft gave the charts in Access a facelift. They called it “Modern Charts”.

In some ways this was a good start, but much more could still be done to increase the power of Access charts.

There are countless JavaScript libraries on the world wide web that you can use to create cool charts.

Some of these charts even enable interaction with the user.

The really good news is that these features can also be used in Access.

This presentation shows:

How to get state-of-the-art charts (based on chart.js) running in Access
What are the external dependencies and how can they be resolved?
How do we program the whole thing elegantly and clearly?
