FAQ

Asked first, every time.

Don't see yours here? Send us the question — a principal engineer will reply within 24 hours.
Yes, for departmental tools, rapid prototyping, and small-to-medium datasets. Access excels when teams need a custom database application fast, without server infrastructure or web development overhead. For larger-scale needs, we recommend migration to SQL Server or a web app.
Yes. We migrate the backend to SQL Server (linked tables) for multi-user scalability, or fully convert to a web application using .NET or React. We preserve your business logic and data integrity throughout.
Split database architecture — backend data file on a shared network location, frontend application distributed to each user. For larger teams, we link Access to SQL Server for true multi-user concurrency.
Yes. Access supports linked tables to SQL Server, Azure SQL, ODBC sources, SharePoint lists, and Excel files. We configure optimal connection strategies for each data source.
We eliminate corruption by ensuring a strict split database architecture where every user operates a local copy of the front-end (forms/queries) linked to a centralized, networked back-end data file, minimizing network file-locking collisions.
Yes, our experts refactor inefficient DAO/ADO recordsets, optimize DLookup expressions, and restructure complex VBA loops into native, indexed SQL queries to drastically improve UI responsiveness and macro execution speeds.
We utilize the SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) to upscale the Access back-end data to a robust SQL Server instance. We then relink the existing Access front-end via ODBC, allowing instant scalability without retraining users.
We compile the front-end into a locked ACCDE format, disabling design view. We then implement custom VBA-driven user authentication logic, hiding the navigation pane and restricting access based on active directory credentials.
Absolutely. We write custom VBA scripts that dynamically filter Access Reports, export them as high-quality PDFs, and utilize Outlook Interop or direct SMTP to automatically email the reports to a distribution list.
The absolute physical file limit for an Access database is 2GB. Once data approaches this limit, performance degrades rapidly. The immediate solution is an Access to SQL Server Migration to handle terabytes of data securely.
