Customer and Published Reviews

Since 1995, Total Access Detective has saved Access users and developers weeks of time on Access development projects. Here's how:

"Using Total Access Detective, you can easily compare any two objects in one database or any two databases with each other. This is extremely beneficial in a multi-developer environment where different developers are making changes to different database objects. Total Access Detective assists you with the process of merging changes made by multiple developers."
- Alison Balter, Author of Mastering Access Desktop Development

"Thank you so much for going the extra mile for us Friday. We received the software Saturday, found the differences between the two databases and got the revised version to our client Monday morning.. could not have done it without you or the software!"
- Pete Prados, Apex IT Solutions

"Yikes! My client's last list of change requests included a couple of issues I knew I'd already addressed. Sure enough, their latest version and mine were out of sync, and additional changes had been made in each. Total Access detective saved days of painstaking work. Just as important, I was confident that the resulting version of the application was 100% correct."
- Phyllis Emign, South Woodstock, Connecticut

"Total Access Detective is well worth every penny, it will quickly pay for itself through savings in time and effort."
- Tom Cryan, Denver Access User Group product review

"This awesome development tool lets you track differences between database versions…I highly recommend Total Access Detective, particularly if your work involves making changes over a period of time."
- Thomas Wagner, Access Advisor product review

"This add-in will save you many hours of difficulty when managing any Access application with multiple developers."
- Michael Gunderloy, Smart Access product review

"Your Total Detective saved the day as my employee imported the wrong table to the server. We used Total Access Detective to detect the changes the next day when the issue was discovered, and were able to rectify the situation which would otherwise be unsolvable without this tool."

"Total Access Detective saves the day again! I was puzzled why a feature that worked 3 months ago was no longer working in the latest version. I couldn’t figure it out. I then decided to run a comparison on the forms and the answer was right there in the module code. I had different code in the On Current event which is somewhere I didn’t think to look. Great tool. Thank you."
- Peter Weinwurm, Axium, Toronto, Canada
