What Total Access Detective Does

• Find differences between any two objects in one Microsoft Access database, including fields, controls, properties, macro lines, module code, and data.
• Find differences between two Access databases (ACCDB, MDB, or ADP) with lists of objects in one database and not the other, and detailed comparison among identically named objects (you select the objects or all objects to compare)
• Find differences between two blocks of text from text files on disk or the text you copy and paste. Compare them as plain text or modules to use our VBA parser to perform procedure by procedure comparisons.
• After comparing two tables for data differences, you can create a new table that combines the records from your tables applying your rules of which table's new and modified records to keep.
• Automate database comparisons from a Windows command line (shortcut or bat file) where you can specify the two databases to compare and where to store the results

How You Run it

Total Access Detective is available depending on whether you want to find differences between objects in one database or between databases.

Comparing Objects in Your Currently Opened Database

Total Access Detective lets you compare any two objects in your currently opened database right from the Microsoft Access Add-ins menu:

Run Total Access Detective from the Microsoft Access Add-ins Menu

Specify the pair of objects in your Microsoft Access database to compare

Comparing Two Databases

When you want to compare two databases, open our database comparison program and point to your two databases.

A wizard takes you through the process of:

• Selecting the identically named objects for detailed analysis
• Setting comparison options including how data and modules are compared
• Specifying where to save the results

Total Access Detective then examines all the objects you selected and presents the results.

Microsoft Access Database and Object Comparison Results

Results are displayed on screens that you can view, sort, filter and search. Reports are available and you can even export the results to a table in your database.

When Total Access Detective Is Needed

When you need to know exactly what changed in Access, Total Access Detective delivers! For example,

• Documenting differences between an older version and the current version of your database. Great for listing all the work you did for your client or boss!
• Modifications made by your users to a deployed database. Great for understanding new and modified queries and reports. Important if your users claim they didn't change anything.
• Data changes made to your version or a client's version of a database. Great for detecting new or modified data, changes to lookup tables, etc.
• You worked on the database at home, came back to the office and forgot to update the office version before making new modifications. It's awfully nice to be able to reconcile and save all your effort. Missing one item could cause a bug that haunts you later!
