Migration from MS Access 2003 to MS Access 2013 - ms-access-2013

I work for a company where we likely going to update from Access2003 to Access2013.
Can you please brief me about the issues i'll face. Related links for my research will be highly appreciated.
Many Thanks in advance

Except for custom commandbars and ADP projects, it is usually just to ask Access 2013 to upgrade the old database.
Why don't you just try?

new to CRM, how to get CRM environment for learning and work around

I m a .net developer and new to CRM. Unfortunately at my work we don't have CRM. I m intrested in learning CRM but not sure how I can get CRM environment for practice and learning.
Please guide should I go for CRM 2015 ? Should it be installed on labtop or Azure or is there a way I can pay and use some environment already avilable for learners ?
Kindly also help is there a licence for learners or which licence or installation is recommended for me.
Thank you so much for your precious time and valuable guidance.
Thanks again.
Hopefully this link lasts, but you can sign up for a free CRM Online trial that is CRM 2015. It will give you a 30-day trial that you may extend through the admin portal. You will walk through setting up an account, and Microsoft will automatically spin the environment up for you. See the link below.

Alfresco 4.2 CE with MS SQL server 2012

I've been asked to use install alfresco 4.2 community edition with database MS SQL server 2012 for evaluation and I'm a newbie in using it. I'm having a hard time in doing configurations to make it work. I know MS SQL server 2012 is only supported in alfresco enterprise edition but I've read some forums and some of them made it work with sql server 2012 by tweaking some scripts but I don't have any idea what scripts or how to do it.
I just want to know if it is really possible to do it and if yes, could you please give me some detailed steps how to do it.
thanks in advance.
As far as I know there is no ready-to-install extension to add MS SQLServer support to Alfresco Community 4.2.x.
If you don't want to buy the Enterprise version then you'll have to add all necessary code like myBatis ORM files in your own.
It's not impossible but it's gonna be a hard task...
If SQL Server is a requirement, I recommend evaluating this trial using Alfresco Enterprise so that you're not modifying or introducing other issues that may present Alfresco negatively. (sorry I would have posted this as a comment, but I dont have enough rep-points).

How to get Microsoft CRM for Development Purposes?

I am a recent graduate, who has done some work experience at a company developing/designing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Solutions. I have moved on from there and have no official ties anymore. However, I do see the future in this product and I would like to keep developing solutions and increasing my development knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
Taking into account the above and that I have a job in a different IT area. As well as the fact that I am determined to start this from scratch... What are my options?
My intentions for the future(1-3 yrs) is to develop Microsoft CRM 2013 Solutions and hopefully sell to local small businesses.
MSDN subscription or using trial subscription on CRM Online instance or using trial key:

Or if you want to be a startup, you might be eligible for BizSpark subscription:
http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/
I think your best bet would be to get an online subscription. Your solution's code should be 100% compatible with the new CRM APIs in the SDK. Running everything from an online CRM solution would ensure it will work. This will also ensure that when the next version is released, you will be ready for it.
Unless Microsoft changes their licensing, this might be your only reasonably priced choice.
Try the Demo Builder:
http://demobuilder.cloudapp.net/unauthenticated-home/#
It's a Wizard base tool that will guide you through the process of setting up an online demo environment.
There are a bunch of templates that you can select from that will give you a good idea of the different scenarios where CRM can be deployed.

DotNetNuke - Best Way to Move From Professional to Community Edition

What is the best process of moving a 200+ MB DotNetNuke site from Professional to Community edition? I am asking the Stackoverflow community since DotNetNuke's standard line is "there is no supported option to switch from PE to CE", or to contact their customer support. However DNN support told a fellow team member tell us that it was not possible to go from Professional to Community, so that was a waste of time.
Based on research there are a couple possibilities for doing this:
Create a new Community Install and then module by module going through and moving it piecemeal. Here - http://www.dnnsoftware.com/forums/forumid/0/threadid/427840/scope/posts
Make backups of the Professional and then install the Community Edition over it, and then go through the web.config and verify that each piece is correct. Here - http://fl2rs.com/downgrading-dotnetnuke-from-professional-to-community-edition/
Which one has the most success of converting DotNetNuke Professional Edition to Community Edition? Also, if you know of a better method please share. Thank you for your time.
Edit
Looking back at this question the only real way to convert a complicated site is to basically rebuild it which I did successfully. And if you are trying to switch from an older version of Professional to a newer version of Community even more so. I would also like to note that going to Community was the correct decision since none of the extra functionality we even used, and their support was never helpful anyway.
I don't think there's a built-in downgrade feature from Professional to Community Edition. As it was noted here in this question, DNN professional and DNN Community Edition share the same codebase. In other words, DNN Pro is DNN CE with some extra built-in extensions such as document manager, impersonate user, different caching, etc. That means 99.9% of modules and skins will run fine in either edition.
Option 1: Seems tedious but would surely work.
Option 2: I would make a backup copy of the site on a development machine and try to do it there before attempting it on the production server. Please post the results for this if you try it.
Good luck.
Option 1 would work, but I'm not sure about Option 2.
I've heard that this is not supported by DNN, but if you open a support ticket, they can walk you through the process.
This is what I found in their support forum: http://www.dnnsoftware.com/answers/cid/414288
If you have troubles with this, I've found DNN on Social Media (G+ and their forums) are more responsive. Sometimes a little prodding is needed.
Late to the party on this one - another option might be to do a portal/site export and then import it into a CE version. It has its own problems with modules that do not support this but if you are HTML content heavy then you can do it.

Getting Started with Programming Microsoft CRM 4

I have gone through all the msdn stuff for getting started with the SDK for Microsoft CRM 4.
I am trying to find any other basic examples / blog posts about implementing the SDK for MS CRM4. Does anyone know of some blogs that cover this?
You'd do well to check out the Microsoft CRM SDK over at MSDN. You could also browse the google groups, or check out sites to well known CRM MVPs.
Best advice, however, is to just start fooling around with it. It's very intuitive once you understand the process of getting things done.
I was in your shoes a while back, and I started by thinking of a "mini project" and doing it. It will force you to find out more about CRM and you'll gain "practical experience".
How about getting a book - Working with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and working through some exercises there?
