What Access third-party tools do you use?

Hi all

One survey and one question...

Survey:       What third-party Access developer tools do you use?
Question:    What tools are current for Access 2013 64-bit?

I've purchased / used all of the below tools at one point in my career, but afaik none of them support Access 2013 64-bit.

MZ-Tools (Access 2003 to 2013 32-bit)

FMS - Total Access Ultimate Suite (Versions 97 to 2010), $1,999 for a single license.  A dozen tools that do damn near everything.

Black Moshannon - Speed Ferret Global Find & Replace Utility (Versions Access 97-2002, SQL Server 6.5-2000, Visual Basic 5-6)  $200.  Globally find and replace object names in Access, SQL, and VB at the same time.

Rick Fisher’s Find & Replace Tool  (versions 2000 – 2010).  $39-ish.  Globally find and replace object names in an Access database.

Thanks.
Jim

ASKER

Part-time client, and I'm running on a 64-bit box with Access 2013, and it just dawned on me that none of my tools are 64-bit.  Debating whether I should find a Windows 7 box with Access 2010-2012 on it for stuff like this.

Also I think I gave up on the classes.  Too much overhead, and there are always SQL Saturday presentations.

Amen brother.  No sense in wasting time trying to understand a former developer's goofy naming convention, or lack thereof, when you can globally rename...

>http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm .  64 bit yes
Have been asked to scale to screen in multiple places, and the free VBA code that is out there never seems to work for subforms.  Will give this a read.

>http://www.everythingaccess.com/vbwatchdog.htm . 64 bit yes
Will also give this a read.

><< http://www.ribboncreator2010.de >>
Not sure I want to touch this one.  I remember VBA coding for menu items back in the 97 to XP day, and that was a big chore.

> This is the very reason why they still to this day recommend not using it; a lack of 3rd party support for the 64 bit platform.  It just hasn't caught on.
I can see that.  Interesting..
