Topic outline:

This presentation will be by John Colozzi (AKA Doozer on online forums) from the United States.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly prevalent in software development, John used Claude Opus 5.5 to reimagine Northwind 2.0 as a web-based application in Microsoft Access using the Edge Browser Control. The redesigned interface is an event-driven single-page application built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, all loaded within a single Access form.

The VBA modules were refactored into classes that operate behind a JSON bridge, handling business rules, validation, security, and data access.

The back end preserves the original Northwind 2.0 tables and IDs while adding several new components:
•   Double-entry accounting and payroll
•   Audit history
•   Application
•   A change log that enables users to see updates made by others
•   Additional configuration tables



Background:


John Colozzi is a Research Health Science Specialist with the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Health Systems Research department at the Center for Clinical Management Research (CCMR) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. For 14 years, he’s developed Access databases supporting research studies and administrative staff.

John leads CCMR’s Technology Core, supporting the department’s technology needs and collaborating with investigators to develop innovative applications for research and partnered work.
Their areas of expertise include mobile health technology in VA research, VA data security policies, artificial intelligence and machine learning, usability testing, and strategies for disseminating products throughout the Veterans Health Administration.
