Just a little Demo (80 lines of code) which could easily be enhanced (with a little love) -
to real "Tool-Status".
For example when a "full Access-Installation" is not given on some machine or something - or when
you're tired to switch between Access' "SQL-View" and "Table-View", just to see results of your View-Defs
(or simply want to prevent all this "auto-intelligence, with an abundance of parentheses", Access will
happily throw into your hand-edited View-SQL anytime it feels in the mood...). ;)
The demo reads the current Views (and Tables) from any given JET-mdb (the Zip contains a small "BookStore" like one)...
and then displays the current SQL of existing Views, as well as the results this View-SQL will produce (in a DataGrid).
Here's the Demo-Zip: ViewEditor.zip
And a ScreenShot:
