ms access & office development
One of our most frequent requests is for MS Access projects. We have a specialty
in this area. Access is included with the MS Office suite and starting a new project
by designing a table and using a wizard to generate a form is a snap However...
However after moving beyond this wizard-generated template many users find that
creating a fully functional Access application can be a daunting task. Even simple
applications require an understanding of relational database design principles,
query & report design and data binding. More complex goals may involve passing parameters
to views or stored procedures, referencing COM objects to automate Word and Excel
documents and programming in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA.)
If your Access project has stalled out, we will give you the jump start that will
put you back on the road – fast!
True to our name, we take a flexible approach to Access development:
Start to Finish Development
From Initial analysis to training and support we can provide a complete solution
that fully integrates with your existing manual and automated systems. You understand
the data you work with each day, and we will leverage that business knowledge in
the solution we provide. In short, you understand the data and we understand the
code. Together we can achive great results.
Co-Development
Frequently business users already have some experience with spreadsheets, Access
or other development tools. If you already have a software system in place but need
a hand in some of the more complicated data transformations, we can become your
external I.T. department. This arrangement maximizes value by leveraging a power
user’s abilty to create form and report layouts, while insulating them from the
need to master the complexities of the Access event model (critical to predictability
and reliablity) and writing VBA code.
Legacy application support & enhancement
Does your existing application do everything you need it to do? We will analyze
the application and then sit down with you to discuss possible solutions. Typically
the toughest decision is whether to enhance vs. rewrite the system. As an informed
user, you will be in a much better position to make that decision.
Why Access?
Access is the fastest way to develop a working application. By integrating the database engine, form and report designers and the VBA languate into a single product the developer can prototype a new product more quickly that any other platform.
For small to mid-size business Access provides excellent results.
