Wendell,

Thanks for your answer and your research!

The examples you referenced on the SharePoint Store are helpful and several techniques would have been very nice to see without having to invent them. I periodically go to the SharePoint store to see what is available but did not think to get sample code there. For any future reference to this thread, I simply put "Access App" in the search of the SharePoint Store and selected Free and about 11 samples pop up. The examples use many more of the features than the Issues and Tasks examples found on the Microsoft sites.

The reference to the template text was intended to point out the lack of attention that Microsoft gave to their documentation. I had found detailed description of items like Operators and many command syntax detail pages on the Microsoft sites. None were anywhere near as extensive as a comparable C# or VB description. I still believe the documentation is not thorough or complete and it does not compare to the quality or thoroughness I would expect from Microsoft. (I guess that gives more opportunities for myself or others to write about it.)

I may be expecting too much but the UI controls that I would like would to see include calendar/scheduling controls, chart controls, and report controls. While I could probably embed a web page to link to a reporting services page, the security and connectivity issues would make this like a separate project - and assumes that Reporting Services is available. For the types of simple tracking systems that Microsoft's examples encourage, reporting is the biggest gap.

Thanks again,

Jim P.
