My name is Colin Riddington, the owner of Mendip Data Systems based in the UK.
I am active on many online forums with the user name isladogs.

I was awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) status in 2022 and again in 2023.

This website is mainly used for free example apps, code samples and extended articles together with news and events for Microsoft Access. It also includes details of several commercial apps.

I also have a linked Isladogs On Access YouTube channel.

Why Isladogs? (pronounced Eye-la-dogs)
Isla was my beloved labrador dog shown in the photo. When we got her in 2011, Isla was a fairly unusual name in the UK. I was asked if the name came from the Isle of Dogs which is an area of London next to the Thames. The name Isladogs stuck and became my online username.
