The MSDN Access for Developers forum is transferring here permanently on 6th Jan 2021.
However I can't find it here. Where is it?

    Thanks. As it stands there are going to be a lot of disgruntled developers, many of whom have given up considerable times over the years to help other users with questions about these products.

    @Isladogs
    As DSPatrick's third answer said, please sumbit a feedback on the tags for "Access dev", "Excel dev" and etc. on that page.
    Your contribution for Q&A forum is highly appreciated.

    Currently, to raise the Office development issues on Q&A forum, you can go to this page and find the corresponding tag under Office Client development category.

    You may also go to Office developer community to ask Office development issues.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    I have already submitted feedback though AFAIK when I did so there were no individual tags for Access , Excel etc.
    The responses to my feedback haven't filled me with confidence about the future of this site.

    In fact, I use the MSDN forum to answer other members questions rather than seeking help.

    I appreciate your efforts and the various links provided but have not clicked the Accept As Answer button.
    That is because none of the answers address the fundamental issue.
    That isn't a criticism of you personally but of those who made the decision that I raised in this thread

    A good resource for users to ask and answer questions (MS Developers Forums) is being closed and none of the replacements is an adequate alternative.
    But, in particular, this Q&A site appears to be very poorly designed.
    The tags are awful. It is very difficult to find your way around the site ...as others have also commented upon.
