Smart Access Magazine Sales and Information          Support Here      User feedback here

Garry's company GR-FX now owns the exclusive rights to the Microsoft Access magazine that was really popular from 1996 through to 2006. That magazine was called Smart Access. 

In the editions that we are selling below there was 300 articles/2000 pages written by over 100 of best Access professionals (see author index) in the world under the guidance of editor Peter Vogel. Now you can purchase those magazines and accompanying downloads* and use them to improve your understanding of the best rapid development tool in the world, Microsoft Access. 
 

After you order: you will receive an email with a download link like this one.  Save the file which is a Zip executable to a folder on your computer and save the Email to the same folder. Run the Zip executable and save the files to a folder on your computer.  Browse the folders to find the months that you are interested in (see picture).

Garry,     I just read you had purchased Smart Access and were bringing it back. That was like seeing an old friend move back home. I subscribed to that for years and it was the primary reason my Access skills improved during that time. I’m glad you are doing this. Drive on Gary. I’m pulling for your big success with Smart Access!   Mark

Smart Access was the best magazine on Access!  There must be a role for print media in the future.  There is simply a polish and elegance to the entire process of publishing.  I wish you success. John

I had subscribed to this newsletter for 7 or 8 years until I saw it going pathetically downhill. Are you reviving it publishing new issues, and if so, at what price? I'm an Access developer and I've been working with it since Access 1.0  Thx  Ray

Hi Ray

First aim is revive the existing collection which I have mostly completed now and that is for sale. Still to do is to make 2003 versions of all the downloads that are in Access 97 format.

Then we will either make a giant website of the material or start converting it to 2007. Not sure.

I write new material and this appears in www.vb123.com.au/toolbox at the moment.

Access 1.0 that’s impressive. Tell the readers what it was like one day.

Also as material is revived, some of it will head out in free emails.

Not doing a new print magazine yet until this makes me rich :)

The first buyer said "It worked really well, quick & easy. Just a short note, at one time I received Smart Access, but it became a little “pricey” so I stopped receiving it. When I seen what you and your company had done, plus what was being offered, I could not resist. I now can continue on from where I had stopped. Dave

Any chance there is an article index for the Smart Access magazines you are selling? Bob

We now have an article index available or if you click here you will find an online index with searches to many of the articles. We were given an incomplete index but are building it up again now.  Rest assured the PDF Magazines and downloads are 98% complete   Garry
