Microsoft Access

MS Access is a highly flexible, robust, and reliable database program. Microsoft Access is the leading relational database management system in the world. We are a Microsoft Access developer company creating database applications for your business.

SQL Server

SQL Server is an enterprise relational database management system from Microsoft. We use SQL Server as the database server for data storage and data retrieval to and from Microsoft Access as well as other software applications, like ASP.NET and Azure.

ASP.NET

Microsoft's application framework for web development produces dynamic web pages. ASP.NET provides web programmers with a platform for building dynamic web sites, web applications (web apps), and web services that require a web solution.

Alison Balter at MS Access Solutions developed the application that helps us to properly service all of our members. This program handles billing, payments, tracking of jobs worked, available list, and other important data about our members. The system automates many tasks that were previously performed manually, allowing our employees to more cost-effectively use their time. This client/server system is used by employees in our Lexington Kentucky and New York offices.

Adding Custom Help

In most cases, you want your users to have at least some level of custom help specific to your application. You can use the ControlTip Text property of controls and the Description property of fields to add the most basic level of help to your application. The ControlTip Text property provides a description of a control when a user hovers his mouse pointer over the control. The Description property of a field appears on the status bar when a control based on that field has the focus. If you are more ambitious, and if the scope and budget for the application warrant it, you can build a custom help file for your application. To add custom help to your application, you must build a help file; then you can attach parts of it to the application's forms and controls.

Building Custom Ribbons

You should build your own ribbons that you associate with specific forms and reports. Custom ribbons add both polish and functionality to your application. After you complete these steps, you'll be ready for the final phase of preparing your application for distribution:

1. Test your application by using the /Runtime switch.

2. Install your application on a machine that has never run a copy of either the standard or runtime version of Access.

3. Test your application on the machine; make sure it runs as expected.

Begin by testing your application with the /Runtime switch. This switch simulates the runtime environment, allowing you to mimic user actions under the runtime version of Access. Taking this step saves you a lot of time and energy. It will find most, if not all, of the problems associated with the runtime version.

After you test your application with the /Runtime switch, you must test your application by running the install on a machine that has never contained a copy of either the standard or runtime version of Access. The whole idea is to test your application on a machine containing no Access-related files. This action ensures that you have included all the required files on your setup disks.

I suggest that that you use a "ghosting" utility such as Symantec Ghost to create a complete image of your operating system and application drives. Install and fully test your application; make sure you experiment with every feature. After you have completed the testing process, restore the original machine from the Ghost image so that you can use it to test your next installation.
