We find out what you want, why you need various features so we can obtain as much information as possible. Once we have the information we need, we work with you to design the proper database architecture, plus the dashboards, the questions (queries), forms, and reports you need for an excellent database system.
We also create websites designed for speed to display your data accurately, using ASP.NET technology. Fast, secure, and robust, our ASP.NET websites and web applications give you a true business tool for finding and displaying information dynamically on the web.

How to create a Microsoft Access application with some unique tips and tricks.
Your Access developer near me has some great info for you about using Access efficiently.
Answer: Both. Most Lomita clients come to us with an existing Access app that needs fixes, speed improvements, or new features. We start with a diagnostic that reviews tables, relationships, queries, and VBA so we can stabilize what you already have. Once the core is reliable, we add the forms, reports, and workflow changes your staff needs to work faster.
Answer: Yes. We start with quick wins that make a real difference, like fixing broken references, adding the right indexes, reducing recordset size, and cleaning up joins. We also split heavy forms, move complex logic into saved queries, and cache lookups so screens open faster. If your data volume is very large, we can move only the biggest tables to SQL Server later, but only if your business needs it. Most businesses in Lomita notice faster performance after the first round of tuning.
Answer: Corruption often comes from multi user file shares, intermittent networks, very large attachments, or long running queries. We prevent issues with a front end per user, a SQL Server back end, compact and repair routines, and smarter indexing. We also tighten query logic and reduce recordset sizes to avoid file growth. Regular backups and a simple update process for distributing the front end keep things stable.
Answer: Absolutely. We build VBA tasks that generate PDFs on a schedule, attach them to templated emails, and send through Outlook or SMTP. Many Lomita businesses replace manual end of day reporting with a one click or fully scheduled workflow. We also log each run to a control table so you can audit what was sent and when.
Answer: Yes. We review the form or report, check its record source and queries, and repair missing references or control names. We rebind fields, fix VBA errors, and tune filters and sorting so the screen loads quickly and totals calculate correctly. We also standardize page setup and exports to PDF, so staff get clean, consistent output every time.
Answer: Yes. We work with all versions of Access and handle both 32 bit and 64 bit installations. We check references, add missing libraries, and compile cleanly to ACCDE in the correct bitness. If your staff mixes versions, we package separate front ends so each workstation runs a stable build.
Answer: We use a per user ACCDE and a small startup checker that compares a version in a control table. If a new build is available, the checker downloads a fresh copy from a shared location and launches it automatically. This prevents file locking, keeps everyone on the same release, and allows updates to be scheduled after hours with no disruption.
Answer: Yes. We output query results to Excel templates with named ranges and pivot tables, and we can schedule those exports from Access. For Power BI, we point reports at SQL Server after migration, add row level filters if needed, and set a refresh schedule. Staff keep familiar Access screens while leaders get richer dashboards.
