Microsoft Access Database Development

Introduction

I.T. Programming have been developing database applications using Microsoft Access since 1995 initially using MS Access v2. Micosoft Access is a much maligned database basically due to it's wizards giving novice users the power to create fairly powerfult database applications. Often this is in enterprises where the I.T. department have no control and valuable data is not being shared.

Microsoft Access Development

Microsoft Access can be a great solution to meet business needs in certain areas. It is great for small businesses who do not have the finanaces to purchase a more powerful product such as Microsoft SQL Server or the development resources to develop a sophisticated client/server application.

Typical Microsoft database applications are:

  • Client invoicing
  • Customer details
  • Expense management
  • Product catalogue
  • Timesheets
  • Combination of all the above and more!

The concern with using Microsoft Access is that small companies are developing business critical applications without a database backup and database restore strategy. As Microsoft Access data resides as a file on a network (often without controlled access) it is all too easy for the datafile to be deleted or corrupted.
