    Where are the OpenAccess menu entries gone?

    With the new visual designer the old wizards are now hidden and not immediately usable. The recommended way is to use the Doman Model. All new functionality is now reachable from the new OpenAccess menu:     The options menu entry is enabled if a solution is opened.   The old wizards are not deprecated and will not be removed in one of the next releases, but you have to specify on a solution level that you want to use them.   In your existing projects the upgrade to the new version can be done by using the ‘Check Settings’ wizard, which will replace the references to the old...
