For Microsoft Access, SQL Server,
Visual Studio .NET, and VB6 Professionals

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking forward to attending and speaking at the Microsoft Access User Group Conference in the hills of Portland, Oregon this weekend. I hope to see some of you there.

To engage more frequently with us, please take advantage of our Facebook page and Twitter accounts. We've also revamped our entire web site so you can Like, Twitter, or bookmark any page. Please flag your favorite pages so we better understand what you prefer.

In this month's email newsletter, we'd like to thank Daniel Pineault for his review of Total Visual SourceBook, and Microsoft for their release of a new version of the SQL Server Migration Assistant.

We're proud to participate in a joint press release with London based Videre Est Credere about how they're using our Sentinel Visualizer link analysis program to combat human rights atrocities. I'm always inspired by people who are willing to take great personal risk to create a more just and safe world. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame on their board of trustees. Cool!

Right before Microsoft's announced merger with Skype, we contracted for Skype's international calling plan. We'll see what happens next. There are a lot of exciting possibilities.

All the best,

Luke Chung
President

Product Review: Total Visual SourceBook

Read recent review of Total Visual SourceBook by Daniel Pineault, a Microsoft Access MVP:

"What I wouldn’t have given to be aware of this add-in when I was starting out as a developer! Seriously, this add-in would have saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of hours searching online, posting to forums, to find out how to code what I needed to do. Beyond which, it provides the user with a standardized set of procedures, instead of trying to piece together countless routines found here and there as you search online." Complete Review

Total Visual SourceBook is the most extensive professional source code library for Microsoft Access, Office, and Visual Basic 6.0. With 194 modules, 100,000+ lines of code, and almost 20,000 lines of examples, this collection of consistently written, well tested code is available for you royalty-free! Insert the code directly into your projects and call it. Since it's source code, you can examine each line, learn from it, and enhance our code for your specific mission.

The shipping version of Total Visual SourceBook supports Microsoft Access 2007 and the 32 bit version of Access 2010. We're working on an update to provide support for the 64 bit version of Access/Office 2010 to support 64 bit API calls.
