5/16/03  Microsoft MVP Using Total Access Analyzer

"I had four Access 2000 databases with linked tables to SQL Server 2000. Each database had some 60 forms, 80 ODBC linked and/or local tables, 200 queries, and around 100 reports each. I needed to clean up and combine these database front-ends and their respective SQL back ends. I don't know if I would have accomplished this with out using Total Access Analyzer. With the use of this tool I was able to clean up the VBA in all modules (get it to a compiled state). I was able to cross reference every object in the database (down to the field) such that I could find and remove unused objects and or correct errors. The product is great!" - Dave Patrick, Microsoft MVP Windows NT/2000 Operating Systems

"It's not very often that one runs into a product that is useful to so many members of an IS team. A network administrator can use it, because data backup is typically something assigned to this person; a corporate developer or DBA can use it to maintain Jet databases in their optimal state; and a consultant can use its e-mail notification capabilities. It's so easy to run that, in a pinch, even a power user can use it. Total Visual Agent is a real find, a rare combination of ease of use, and "bang for the buck."
