Winner of Every Best Access Add-In Award Since 1994

Discover why so many Microsoft® Access® users and developers rely on Total Access Analyzer to deliver great Access solutions.

Total Access Analyzer examines all your database objects to provide extensive documentation, code analysis, object cross-reference, and diagrams with over 370 presentation-quality reports. It detects 280+ types of errors, suggestions, and performance tips, so you can learn and apply Best Practices to fix problems, improve your design, and speed up your Access applications.

Integrated within Your Access Environment

Open your database and launch Total Access Analyzer from your Add-ins menu. The main menu of Total Access Analyzer appears letting you:

  • Create new documentation for your database
  • For previously generated documentation on this or another database:
    • View the results
    • Search for any string across the object properties and code
    • Preview, print, or export reports to file
  • Generate simple "quick" documentation for some of your objects

Because Total Access Analyzer runs within Access, it leverages the power of Access to document and present the results in Access forms and reports. In many places, it also offers the ability to look at the results and jump into design mode for the current record's object with a single keystroke. This lets you easily examine the results and apply the suggestions.

Microsoft Access application flow diagramComprehensive Database Analysis

Total Access Analyzer performs detailed analysis of your Access database objects individually and as a whole. By examining your entire database, it discovers complex relationships among objects, hidden problems, and even unused objects. Take control of your databases by understanding how they work. Total Access Analyzer not only generates cross-references between your objects, it also creates diagrams of your application and data flow to show multi-level relationships. If you want to understand what's really going on in your database or need to get up-to-speed on databases created by others, Total Access Analyzer is your solution.

Comprehensive Module Analysis with Our Exclusive Code Parser

Total Access Analyzer includes our proprietary Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) code parser that understands your module code to generate detailed analysis of your code in modules, classes, and behind forms and reports. Know where each procedure and variable is used. Discover unused code, unreferenced variables (assigned but not used), references to missing objects, variable name conflicts, scoping issues, and much more! Total Access Analyzer pinpoints issues in your code to teach you how to be a better Access/VBA programmer.

Create Better and Faster Microsoft Access Applications

Total Access Analyzer helps you apply the 'Best Practices' principles that we've learned at FMS. Perform the same analysis on your databases to see what you can improve. For instance, eliminate potential data loss with the field consistency analysis that ensures identically named fields across tables are defined consistently. Find forms with duplicate hotkey letters, reports without a NoData event, unused objects and code, procedures that should be private, short combo boxes, and much more.

Integrated Documentation Explorer

The documentation results are shown in the powerful Documentation Explorer, that lets you easily browse the most complex Access databases through an intuitive hierarchical treeview. Look at summary and detail information on any documented object:

Microsoft Access Property SlicesProperty Slices

The power of Total Access Analyzer comes with its ability to show data across all objects. The Property Slice feature lets you choose a property name and see all the objects' values for that property. Simply select a folder and see a property across all the objects like the RecordSource for all forms:

You can also see property values across all form controls. Similarly, for Tables and Queries, you can choose object level or field/column level properties.

Cross-Reference: XREF

The XREF tab shows for each object, where it's used throughout your application including references from other objects, macros, and modules.

Microsoft Access Errors, Suggestions, and Performance TipsIssues: Errors, Suggestions and Performance Tips

Errors, Suggestions and Performance tips are displayed in their tabs. By pressing Alt+D, you can open the current object in design mode to examine and make the recommended changes. Check the "Reviewed" box for items you don't want or need to change, so the next time the database is documented, your review status is preserved. You can even filter on the Reviewed status to see any new issues from your last run.

Search Your Documentation

You can also search the documented properties, macros, and modules for any word or phrase, and see all the places that it's used. The results are presented to you and you can immediately open the current object in Design mode with a keystroke:

Extensive Documentation Reports

Total Access Analyzer contains over 350+ reports ranging from top level overviews to objects details. All the reports can be customized with your headers and footers so you can deliver professional documentation of your work. Many of the reports can also be filtered.

Simplify Your Development Efforts

As your databases grow in complexity, they become harder and harder to understand. Total Access Analyzer generates the information you need to maintain control and efficiency. From simple table structure lists, to field dictionaries (for a field name, see every table it is defined), to property listings, object cross-reference, flow diagrams, and code printouts, Total Access Analyzer gives you the data and reports you need to manage your systems.

Save Your Reputation: Don't Ship Without Running It

Total Access Analyzer provides the most comprehensive Microsoft Access error detection for your databases. Find errors that can cause your application to crash before you ship! For instance, a form may have a combo box that references a table or field that was renamed. It will crash when your user opens it. Total Access Analyzer finds these hidden errors. Think of the time and embarrassment you'll save! Discover why so many organizations run Total Access Analyzer as part of their final quality assurance check before deploying any Access database.

Versions and Availability

Due to the differences between Access versions, there is a separate version of Total Access Analyzer for each version of Microsoft Access. It can analyze all the database formats that its Access version supports. For instance, if you are using Access 2007, Total Access Analyzer 2007 will run in Access 2007 and compare Access MDBs (2000, 2002, 2003, 2007), ADPs, and ACCDB database formats. Simply choose the Total Access Analyzer version for the Access version you are running.

All the products are shipping with the exception of the 2010 version which will ship very soon. It's currently available as a fully functional free preview version.
