Microsoft Access

A Powerful Microsoft Database That Is Accessible by All

What is Microsoft Access

A Powerful Microsoft Database That Is Accessible By All

Microsoft Access is the leading desktop database on the market today. It can be integrated with the entire suite of Microsoft Office applications as well as with all of the Microsoft databases.

Most of the top organizations around the world use Microsoft Access in accounting, finance, operations, IT and more.

♦ The nice thing about MS Access is that it can be used by just about anyone, from an entry level staff accountant who only knows how to use the fully integrated and fully automated features via our simple to use point-and-click graphical user interface (GUI) to a seasoned database developer with twenty years of advanced Access VBA and SQL programming skills under her belt.

♦♦ No matter the level of experience of your staff, we can easily assist them with any and all of your Microsoft Access programming and training needs. We will make the system faster, stronger, and more simple to use. Once again, the point and click interface means that your staff does not need to be Microsoft Access Developers, we are 😉

♦♦♦ Our Smarter Microsoft Access Solutions range from building a 100% custom forms driven application to advanced integration of Microsoft Access with Microsoft Office, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft SQL Server, or Microsoft Power BI.

Who Uses Microsoft Access

From Staff Accounts and Financial Analysts To Data Scientists

♦ Microsoft Access is used by people that work with large amounts of data, call it BIG data if you will, or by those those that simply need a simple to use and 100% customized graphical user interface for a point-and-click solution.

♦♦ Junior Accountants, Senior Financial Systems Analysts and Data Scientists use Microsoft Access more than IT as IT prefers SQL Server, Oracle or Azure, over Access.

♦♦♦ The majority of IT folks don’t even recognize Microsoft Access to be a true relational database, but with that said, some of them are forced to work with Access, against their will. Few of them really get it.

♦♦♦♦ On a similar note of control, IT only wants to grant read-only access to SQL Server applications or Azure online databases.

Common MS Access Uses

A True Multi-Use Application

Microsoft Access has as many uses as Microsoft Excel, if not more. Unlike Excel Microsoft Access is a true multi-user application.

Below is a short list of the things you can do with Microsoft Access.

Access back-end, Excel front-end
Access as a stand alone application
Access front-end SQL Server back-end
Access Front-end, Azure back-end
Access Integrated with Power BI
Powerful calculation engine crunches and manipulates data

Integrating Access

Integrate With the Entire Microsoft Office Suite, Databases & Power BI

Most Access users don’t use Access alone, rather they often integrate and automate Access with one or more of the Microsoft Office applications, plus SQL Server, Azure, Power BI, and .Net.

♦ Below are a few examples of the things you can do to automate and integrate Microsoft Access with other Microsoft applications.

Send email from an Access form, via Microsoft Outlook
Pull data from Microsoft Azure and use data for Power BI
Crunch large data sets and send summary data to Excel
Add a GUI to Access as front-end to manage SQL Server data

Database Development

If you are not already using Microsoft Access, adding Access to your application tool belt is a great idea. Access is the easy to use entry level database by Microsoft. It comes with a powerful point-and-click graphical user interface via their custom forms. The point and click interface means the database can run updates with a few clicks of the mouse, no programming experience needed.

Access fully integrates with Microsoft’s other databases, SQL Server, Azure, and Power BI.

By leveraging the sheer crunching power of its two available data engines (Jet, MSDE) you can get more work done in a fraction of the time. We are not necessarily saying to dump what files you are currently using just to replace it with Access. What we are saying is that you should consider integrating and automating your work by adding Microsoft Access with advanced VBA/Macros to the mix. Simple.
