New Features in Total Access Admin 2007

Total Access Admin 2007 (Version 12.0) lets you monitor your Microsoft Office Access/Jet databases better than ever and includes many new features:

Support for Access 2007 databases in ACCDB format

In addition to supporting all Access/Jet MDB databases from Access 97 to 2007, Total Access Admin 2007 also supports Access 2007 ACCDB format databases. Support for this format requires Access 2007 to be installed on the machine.

Save Database Connections and Disconnects to a Log file

Optionally store every connection and disconnection from a database in a log file. This is stored in a table of the LOG.MDB database where Total Access Admin is installed. It records the machine ID, user name, and time. If a suspect connection is detected, that's recorded as well.

Enhanced Actions when All Users Exit the Database, Including Automatic Compact

In addition to displaying a notification when all users are closed, these options are now available:

• Compact the database, then close the database or exit Total Access Admin
• Close Total Access Admin’s connection to the database
• Exit Total Access Admin

This makes it easy to compact the database once everyone exits. Database compact is made with extra care to ensure that a successful copy is made before the original is replaced.

Additional Actions when a Suspect Connection Occurs

If a suspect connection is detected, these options are now available:

• Close Total Access Admin’s connection to the database
• Display a notification on-screen
• Lockout new users, and logout idle users
• Lockout new users, logout idle users, then compact the database
• Exit Total Access Admin

Command Line Support

Total Access Admin 2007 can be launched from a command line, Windows shortcut, or batch file. The database name, login info, and all the interactive selections can be set from the command line to simplify repetitive tasks.

Idle User Logout Seconds

If you implement the Idle User Logout feature in your database, there's a new option to let you specify the number of seconds it should wait before logging out the user automatically.

Enhanced User Interface

In addition to supporting Microsoft Access 2007, the new version is also tested against Vista, and offers a streamlined and improved user interface:

• Settings for opening a database retain the previous entries for workgroups and passwords
• Most recently used list of databases
• Larger form to show more connections
• Support for Windows XP themes

Additional Documentation and Samples

A new help file and 50-page professionally printed user manual are included. The sample databases are also enhanced with separate examples for ADO and DAO.
