John Raleigh, the alpha geek is apparently in charge because he seems to do the long range strategic planning as well as take out the trash. The other programmers tend to ignore his rants and focus on getting the real work done.

A Short History...

Since the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981, John's activities have evolved. In the first year, there wasn't much to work with, but he did a couple of jobs for local builders using Lotus 1-2-3. Then, when the first compilers came along, some other programmers joined and it was apparent that the team would specialize in database projects. A short period of Pascal programming lead to expert work in dBase III then Clipper and specialization in database work. Windows arrived and led to an easy decision to go forward with solutions in Microsoft Access and SQL Server.

Microsoft Access

We often find ourselves explaining to clients exactly what type of applications you can build with Access. Access offers a variety of features for differenct database needs. It is a highly cost-effective means of developing these types of single or multi-user applications:
--Small business apps
--Departmental apps
--Corporationwide apps
--As a front-end for client/server apps
--Intranet/Internet apps

Access is exceptionally good as a reporting tool. With it, you can achieve very presentable designs for
--Detail reports
--Summary reports
--Reports containing subreports
--Cross-tab reports
--Reports containing graphcs and charts
--Reports containing forms
--Labels
--Reports containing all of the above!

But keep in mind that the key to good reporting is developing a correct query under the report.
