What's new in MDB Viewer Plus 2.61

Jul 9, 2018
  • Form view fix and some slight improvements to the table design feature.

New in MDB Viewer Plus 2.60 (Jun 27, 2018)

  • Maintenance release to fix a few bugs

New in MDB Viewer Plus 2.59 (Jun 21, 2018)

  • This is the maintenance release to fix a few issues that have come up as a result of all the major alterations of version 2.58. I have improved the recent dialogue window a little. There will be another maintenance release in another couple of days.

New in MDB Viewer Plus 2.58 (Jun 21, 2018)

  • 2.58 has taken a while to release. It has basically had the guts ripped out of it and re-organised. The tables are now open from the tables list instead of a row of tabs under a tables tab. This makes each table open as it's own instance just like the query tabs. On the main tool bar I have moved a lot of the table related buttons to the new table tabs. Although these changes do not sound like much it actually makes a big difference. The overall interface is now much simpler and more dynamic. It makes more sense this way.
  • Because of the major heart surgery I have performed on this tool there may be more bugs than a bait store. Please email me any bugs you find. Don't worry that they might have already been reported it will give me and idea of which bugs are the most critical. I will be releasing a new version in a couple of days as a maintenance release.

New in MDB Viewer Plus 2.56 (Jun 21, 2018)

  • The main new feature of this release is the new ability to split tabs to right side. This allows you to see the contents of any two tabs at the same time with a splitter bar between them for resizing. You do this by right clicking on a tab and selecting the new option labelled 'Move tab to other view'. This will move the tab to a now visible grouping on the right side as all tabs are on the left side by default. To move a tab back repeat the process from the right side.
  • The 'Table List','Table Info' and 'Indexes' screens are now opened as tabs instead of embedded into the tables screen. They can therefore also be move to right side tab grouping if desired. There is currently no shortcut key defined for moving tabs but I may add one if needed to the next version released.
  • There are a few bugs fixed in this release as well. If you find any bugs or receive an error email me the details plus the error log.

New in MDB Viewer Plus 2.30 (Jun 25, 2013)

  • It has a new import table feature

New in MDB Viewer Plus 2.25 (Jul 30, 2012)

  • There is a new tab on the field panel (shown by the tick box labelled 'Show field panel' on the right side). The tab enables you to store files / documents in a selected blob field.
  • In order to make the above feature possible I have added 'OLE Object' field type to the Add Fields dialog. The OLE Object is the BLOB (Binary Linked OBject) that I referred to.
  • There is a new copy table dialog accessible from the main tool bar. You can copy and existing table to a new table with the option of copying just the structure.
  • The delete table option has been improved as it had more bugs than a bait store.

New in MDB Viewer Plus 2.20 (May 14, 2012)

  • The tables list screen has been updated and re-organised.
  • Add Field is how changed to Add Fields and allows you to add up to 50 fields to an existing table. It basically has the screen layout as the new create table screen that was released in version 2.18.
