Topic Outline

Every now and then, Microsoft’s automatic updates deliver bugs that are just a little annoying or, in the case of critical applications, can bring the company to a standstill. Access users and developers tremble in the face of Office Patch Tuesdays and all the security and Windows updates.

But it doesn’t have to be that way! Dr. Donaubauer is here to educate you on prevention, help with clarification and diagnosis, and prescribe treatment and healing.

Theory and practice on:
• how to find and setup the right update channel and cycle
• how to determine if you are the victim of an update bug
• which methods to use to survive the critical phase
• how to speed up bug fixes for Access by Microsoft
• most importantly: where and how efficient information takes place

Bio

Karl Donaubauer has been an Access MVP for so long and (according to his daughter) is unfortunately now too old to remember how long.*

He has worked on perhaps 200 Access client projects and taken part in tens of thousands of forum discussions in five languages, encountering some update bugs along the way. Based on this experience, the emergency centre he founded and, of course, his former training as a backup paramedic in civilian service, he will guide us through these adventures.

*Editor’s note – Access MVP since 1998 (27 years!)
