Many Dayton businesses start with basic database needs and find that their requirements grow over time. Success often brings more customers, additional staff, and increased data volume. We help companies plan for this growth by building systems that can expand without requiring complete replacement.
Microsoft Access works well for many business situations, but rapid expansion can create performance challenges. When this happens, we can migrate your data to Microsoft SQL Server while keeping the Access interface your team already knows. This approach provides better performance and security without disrupting your daily operations.
The transition process is designed to minimize business interruption. Your staff continues using familiar screens and reports while gaining access to more powerful capabilities. This strategy works particularly well for businesses that expect continued growth but want to maintain productivity during system changes.
We also provide ongoing support and maintenance services to keep your database systems running smoothly. Regular maintenance helps prevent problems and ensures your systems continue meeting your business needs as they evolve.
Our experience with Dayton area businesses helps us understand the specific challenges and opportunities in this market. We know the importance of reliable systems that support business growth while maintaining the efficiency that keeps companies competitive.

The Other properties of a control designate properties that don't fit into any other category, such as the following:
A common mistake many developers make is giving controls names that conflict with Access names. This type of error is very difficult to track down. Make sure you use distinctive names for both fields and controls. Furthermore, don't give a control the same name as the name of a field within its expression. For example, the expression =ClientName & Title shouldn't have the name ClientName; that would cause an #error# message when the report is run. Finally, don't give a control the same name as its control source. Access gives bound controls the same name as their fields, so you need to change them to avoid problems. Following these simple warnings will spare you a lot of grief
Page breaks can be set to occur before, within, or at the end of a section. The way you set each type of page break is quite different. To set a page break within a section, you must use the Insert or Remove Page Break tool on the Design tab of the ribbon. After you click this tool, click the report where you want the page break to occur. To set a page break before or after a section, set the Force New Page property of the section to Before Section, After Section, or Before & After. The Force New Page property applies to Group Headers, Group Footers, and the report's Detail section.
Be careful not to place a page break within a control on the report. The page break will occur in the middle of the control's data.
You can place three types of controls on a report: Unbound, Bound, and Calculated. Unbound controls, such as logos placed on reports, aren't tied to data. Bound controls are tied to data within a field of the table or query underlying the report. Calculated controls contain valid expressions; they can hold anything from a page number to a sophisticated financial calculation. Most complex reports have a rich combination of Unbound, Bound, and Calculated controls.
Calculated controls use expressions as their control sources. To create a Calculated control, you must first add an Unbound control to the report. You must precede expressions with an equal sign (=); an example of a report expression is =Sum([BillableHours]). This expression, if placed in the Report Footer, totals the contents of the BillableHours control for all detail records in the report. You can build an expression by typing it directly into the control source or by using the Expression Builder, covered in Chapter 5.
