This is what a government shutdown looks like to contractors. We have a small project with Amtrak to support a Microsoft Access application. They sent us this letter after the budget impasse in Congress.
The suspension isn’t a big deal to us since we don’t have dedicated staff supporting it. It’s awful for contractors with larger commitments and their staff who are unlikely to be compensated for the shutdown.
After posting on Twitter about the letter we received from Amtrak in regard to the Government Shutdown, FMS President Luke Chung was contacted by WUSA9 and the Huffingtonpost.
On December 26, 2018, FMS President Luke Chung was quoted by John Henry from WUSA9 on our FMS, Inc. government contract suspension in his #ShutdownStories. It was featured on the 11pm News and WUSA9 website!
To read the article and watch the video, visit #ShutdownStories: Government contractors tackle life without pay during partial shutdown.
On December 27, 2018, The Huffingtonpost quoted FMS President Luke Chung:
“Business owners who have [dedicated] staff are making the decision: Do we pay people or not, even though we won’t get paid by the government?” Chung said. “Either you force people to take vacation, or you pay them, to be a good company ― but depending how long it drags on, one may not have a choice.”

Do you only have the ACCDE or MDE database files but can't find the original ACCDB and MDB files that created them?
We provide a database recovery service to convert ACCDE and MDE databases to ACCDB and MDB files. Also, we rescue data and other objects from a corrupt Access database.
We need to perform an assessment of a few hours to see if a recovery is possible, and if so provide the cost for doing it. This service is only provided if you have ownership of the solution and intellectual property.
For more information, visit Microsoft Access Database Recovery Service.
Many Microsoft Access users have recently been confronted with this error when they open their database on Windows 10 machines:
"Microsoft Access has detected that this database is in an inconsistent state, and will attempt to recover the database. During this process, a backup copy of the database will be made and all recovered objects will be placed in a new database. Access will then open the new database. The names of objects that were not successfully recovered will be logged in the 'Recovery Errors' table."
We wrote a blog post on a potential workaround for this error. Please share your experiences!

The Facebook security breech is actually a violation of Facebook API licensing rules. Facebook provided the data so developers like us could create innovative solutions. They weren't selling the data.
One of the things developers couldn't do was to save the data. That's how the data improperly got to Cambridge Analytica. All of that was shut down shortly when Facebook limited their APIs and prevented our application from getting to the data. It's not entirely Facebook's fault for trying to spur innovation by sharing their data for free. Unfortunately, some developers violated their terms completely.
Here’s a new web page describing our experience in more detail: Facebook Application with Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Geospatial Mapping

The day after an amazing personal interview of Julian Assange by Sean Hannity aired on his TV show, FMS President Luke Chung was invited to discuss the related technology on his radio show.
Hannity traveled to London to interview Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy where he’s seeking asylum. They discussed an overview of Assange’s role as founder of WikiLeaks, and their obtaining and publishing the emails from the Democratic National Committee the weeks before the US Presidential election. Some people attribute Hillary Clinton’s loss to the revelations in those emails especially from John Podesta, the former White House Chief of Staff and Chairman of the Clinton campaign. They are also accusing the Russians for hacking (stealing) and providing the data to Assange so Donald Trump could win the election.
On January 4, 2017, Luke was on the radio show with Sean Hannity and Brigadier General Eli Ben Meir, former Israeli Military Intelligence chief. The three of them discussed the WikiLeaks disclosures. Luke commented specifically on:
“It’s one thing when someone steals your car because they broke into it. It’s another thing when someone steals your car because you left your keys in the ignition.”

With all the new features added to Total Access Admin 2013 in April, an updated version 11.6 for Access 2003 was released.
The primary difference between the 2003 and 2013 version is that the 2003 version doesn't require installing Access 2007 or later on the machine in order to support the ACCDB database format. It supports Access databases in MDB formats and does not require Access to be installed on the PC.
The new version replaces version 11.5 and includes many new features:
Visit our New Features page for details.
Total Access Admin lets you monitor users going in and out of your databases in real-time. See who's currently in your database and who recently exited, create a log of connections and disconnects, compact the database after everyone exits, etc. Monitor all the databases across your network from one installation of Total Access Admin.

FMS President Luke Chung was quoted in today's New York Times article HealthCare.gov Is Given an Overhaul. Robert Pear asked Luke about the overhaul that the Healthcare.gov web site needs. He quoted Luke with:
“Instead of being user-friendly, the original website was user-hostile”
In response to the quote, Luke wrote a new blog post covering some of the issues the original designers of the Healthcare.gov site missed, and how a data entry application should be designed. It's not that difficult if you know what you're doing and have done it before:

Have you been curious about Microsoft cloud offering of Office365? No longer interested in hosting your own Exchange Server? Want to have your infrastructure in a secure data center with high reliability and resilience?
If so, we have Free Trials for Office365. We also have trial links to Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Test it out and see if you like it.
We switched to Office365 over a year ago starting with our Exchange Server. We already had our email hosted offsite, but moving it to Office365 was relatively smooth and made it easier and cheaper to support different mobile devices. We then migrated our SharePoint platform to Office365. That was a bit more challenging with the changes between SharePoint versions.
Now with our hosted SharePoint site, we're experimenting with Access 2013 Web Apps
that are integrated directly with SQL Azure databases for our internal and external users. Since it's hosted on SQL Azure,
you can also link to the tables directly from your Access desktop databases.
Try it out for free and see what you think.

Remote Desktop lets you connect to a computer located elsewhere and run it as if you were there. Unfortunately, the remote computer’s Start menu only shows options to "Log Off" and "Disconnect". It does not offer the standard "Shut Down" options: Log off, Shut down, Restart, Stand by, Hibernate. If you attempt to use Ctrl+Alt+Del, the command is captured by the local machine and not the remote one.
Read our paper on Rebooting a Remote Desktop Computer to Restart It on how to get around this problem.
The Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime, Service Pack 1 was just released. Get the free download if you want it.

Robert Pear of The New York Times called Luke and quoted him in this article: Creators Still in Demand on Health Care Website
The
contract for the Healthcare.gov site has moved from CGI Federal to Accenture, but Accenture doesn’t really have a
better team to put in place. In the typical large government contractor world, the winner of a contract simply hires the existing team and moves
them to their payroll. The people who do the work remain and change their business cards. Do we really expect significant improvements from a team that
created the original site and thought it was ready for the public?
"This appears to be a typical government contract shuffle,” Luke Chung, the president of FMS, a software development company in Vienna, Va., said of the handoff. “A new company wins the contract and hires many of the old people. It happens all the time in government."
FMS President Luke Chung provides a detailed technical assessment of the new Healthcare.gov web site in this new blog post
Who Thinks the Relaunched Healthcare.gov Performance Metrics are Acceptable?
A crazy week of media. Before leaving town, FMS President Luke Chung was interviewed in Washington DC. Then while visiting family for Thanksgiving, the national media sent news crews and booked studio time in Sarasota, Florida to get his comments about the soon to be updated Healthcare.gov web site.
Luke appeared on a panel with three others for a live interview discussing the relaunched Healthcare.gov web site.
His appearance is available and summarized by Noah Rothman in this article: Tamron Hall Interrogates Tech Expert After He Criticized Supposed ‘Improvements’ to ACA Site
ObamaCare: Mistake or moneymaker?
A one-on-one interview with Clayton Morris for four minutes discussing how large government contractors profit from delivering systems that don't work:
"If we follow the money, we'll see the stink in the system...Too Big to Fire"
Featuring Sarasota Bay behind him.
Tory Dunnan had a Skype call with Luke to better understand the capacity of the relaunched Healthcare.gov site. This interview was cut into multiple stories that aired all day long. Here's one of them appearing at 1:30:
"So the challenge isn't how many lanes do you have on the highway, but it's how fast the cars can go down the highway. Because if there's any breakdown, you can have a big traffic jam and pile up behind you."

Crucial Weekend for Healthcare Web Site
A portion of Luke's taped interview from yesterday was also included in the following morning's Today Show at 1:06:
"The system either works or it doesn't work....the 50,000 number that they've put out is a little ambiguous because what one wants to know is how many people per hour can get through the system."
Deadline hours away for Obamacare website fixes
The Obama administration has just one day to get its Healthcare.gov website running more efficiently, but officials are already trying to limit expectations once again.
This was the lead story of the evening news. Starting at 0:45, Luke makes a few comments in response to Secretary Sebelius' comments that people should use the new Healthcare.gov web site during off-peak hours:
"It tells me the system isn't full baked. This system should be able to accommodate as many people who want to get on as possible."..cut to President Obama..."50,000 is not a number that's unheard of for websites to be able to support at one time. So I think the challenge is not just the number of users, but whether there are still bugs in the system that will prevent the process from running smoothly."
FMS President Luke Chung has been a technical resource for Robert Pear of the New York Times since he originally quoted him in an article that kicked off all this media attention on October 8th. Yesterday they chatted about how a web site needs to be built to support maximum volume which will come on the deadline date. Quite a challenge since they can't even support the early volume.
His article appears on the front page: A Plea to Avoid Crush of Users at Health Site
Luke Chung, the president of FMS, a database company in Virginia, said building the website to handle 50,000 simultaneous users was “not unreasonable.” But he said the government must be prepared to handle much larger numbers at peak times like Dec. 23, just as the Internal Revenue Services does at the tax filing deadline in April.
White House: Enroll in Obamacare, but not too fast
After confirming he wasn't involved with the Healthcare.gov project, Luke was interviewed by Leigh Ann Caldwell about the new rollout while trying to board to flight at the airport:
Luke Chung, president and founder of Virginia-based software development company FMS Inc., said success for the website would be determined by both the number of users as well as how long they are in the system. He compared it to a highway, noting that 50,000 people traveling 60 miles per hour is smooth traffic while the same number going 10 miles per hour is a jam...Chung cited December 23 as the most significant deadline, noting that demand would be "huge" because people by nature wait until the last minute to act.
Will HealthCare.gov be in good health by Nov. 30?
Greta van Susteren is on vacation, so Luke chatted with Kimberly who was in New York City while he was on Greta's studio in Washington, DC. They discussed how these contractors are "Too Big to Fire"
"Over time, I'm beginning to see that these government contractors who took over this project have essentially made every decision that favors them as much as possible – to maximize the cost to taxpayers, to maximize their profits."

While attending the Microsoft MVP summit and Microsoft Access Day, CNN tracked down FMS President Luke Chung to interview him for the evening show.
He taped a segment from the Seattle studio which provided a nice Seattle Space Needle backdrop. Former Microsoft Access Program Manager, Tim Getsch, who is now the owner of Check Out My Cards (comc.com) joined him for the shoot.
Luke was asked to comment on the need for anonymous shopping on the Healthcare.gov website. He appears at 1:50 for a short quote in this 4:30 story:
"This is something people expect when they visit any web site to not disclose any personal information until they're at a point where they want to make a commitment to buy."
Watch the video: Where's the anonymous shopping perk?
FMS President Luke Chung joined several other Microsoft Access MVP speakers at this one day event for Microsoft Access developers.

FMS President Luke Chung continues to influence the national discourse on Healthcare.gov. The technically flawed website even led to President Obama talking about web site design. As someone who identified serious problems from the day it debuted (see earlier blog posts), Luke has been on numerous national TV and radio programs discussing the issues beyond too many users.
He also wrote a new blog post on how to redesign the site:

Read the blog from FMS President, Luke Chung, about his experience using the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) web site when it debuted on October 1st.
Healthcare.gov is a Technology Disaster
Regardless of the politics, this web site is not ready for prime time. Luke offers his assessment with screenshots of several crashes he experienced. Bad design, bad development, and seemingly no testing for what should be an enterprise quality application.
As one of the few non-partisan technical reviews of the website, the blog has attracted a lot of media attention and showcased our decades of database development expertise.
Michael Shear of the New York Times interviewed and
quoted Luke in this October 8th article:
Health Exchange Delays Tied to Software Crash in Early Rush
"It's poorly designed," said Luke Chung, the president of a database company in Virginia who has publicly criticized the site in recent days. "People higher up are given the excuse that there are too many users. That's a convenient excuse for the managers to pass up the chain."
Luke was included in the national morning broadcast of CBS News. Read the text or watch the video in Obamacare website looks “like nobody tested it,” programmer says
“It wasn’t designed well, it wasn’t implemented well, and it looks like nobody tested it,” said Luke Chung, an online database programmer.
Chung supports the new health care law but said it was not the demand that is crashing the site. He thinks the entire website needs a complete overhaul.
“It’s not even close. It’s not even ready for beta testing for my book. I would be ashamed and embarrassed if my organization delivered something like that,” he said.
Luke was featured in an article on CNN entitled Obamacare glitches known ahead of time? Brian Todd came by the office to learn more about the challenges Luke encountered and the web site actually crashed while he was showing it.
ObamaCare website neither fast or easy? Peter stepped through the site and struggled to even get a user name. Then Luke made a few comments around 1:11 and at the end of the segment:
“It’s written as if it were created by people who had never created a database web application before…This can be fixed in a very short period of time, and it wouldn’t necessarily be that expensive”
"Thanks! FMS products are extremely powerful, unbelievably stable, great timesavers, easy to learn, and an absolute pleasure to work with!"
