Happy Holidays!

Wishing you, your colleagues, and families a wonderful holiday season during these challenging economic times.

I've received lots of positive feedback from my article Application Development During Uncertain Times last month and hope it helps you position yourself professionally and philosophically for this environment.

To improve our interactions with the community, we've created a blog with RSS feed so you can provide feedback and keep up with our latest news before its published in our monthly newsletter.  We look forward to hearing from you!

Best wishes for a Happy New Year!

Splitting Microsoft Access Databases To Improve Performance And Simplify Maintainability

Splitting a database between a front-end and back-end database is fundamental to good Access database design. For performance, ease of maintainability, supporting multiuser environments, and using private tables, a split database design offers many benefits. Read about why and how you split an Access database in this technical paper.


Technical Paper: Finding And Deleting Unused Microsoft Access Objects And Code

It's very easy to create objects in a Microsoft Access database whether it's an MDB, ADP, or ACCDB. During development or interactively analyzing data, queries and code are commonly created and tested. Some are kept for future use, but others remain even if they're no longer necessary. It's usually because you don't want to immediately delete it in case you need it in the future. Later, one forgets what the object was used for. Learn about the complexities of finding and deleting unused Microsoft Access objects and VBA code that we all face.


Word Tip: Embedding Fonts In Word Documents

Microsoft Word includes an option to save the fonts that are used in your document with the file. This option allows all readers to see the fonts in your document, even if they don’t have the fonts installed. Prevent this by Embedding Fonts in your Word Documents.
