Tools for access similar to Red Gate SQL Compare, SQL DataCompare and SQL Packager

Is their any tools for MS Access similar to SQL Compare, SQL
DataCompare and SQL Packager?

There are a number of third-party tools for Access. One prolific source is
FMS, Inc. (http://www.fmsinc.com). But there are fewer SQL tools than for
other databases which rely more heavily on writing SQL from scratch. Access
provides the very handy, and very capable, QueryBuilder for point and click
creation of queries -- that is where most Access users begin (at least,
though many never even modify the SQL that results, they just use it).

I have no idea what these tools too. However judging from their titles these allow
you to compare databases to see what's different between them. If so there are links
to several at my website.

See the following page for a list of utilities to compare Access databases

Deploying Access 2007

I (finally) upgraded to A2007 from A 97 and downloaded the runtime & developer extensions. My first impression is tentatively positive. There are several new features (that Albert Kallal lists in another post in this group) that might make it worth the upgrade. My A97 app converted without any major problems. However I can see I have a bit of a learning curve ahead. I always deployed my A97 apps with the runtime included. All my custom...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
