BIG NEWS: Access on the Web is a reality! This is the technology breakthrough we have been waiting for. It arrived with the combination of Access 2010 plus Sharepoint 2010. We now have a seamless method of getting Access to work online (on the Web), with VBA and all, no strings attached--just the way I always wanted it!! Call now to discuss with John (603-926-6611).

Brightwork Solutions (BWS) is a custom database application development company specializing in client-based or online Microsoft Access 2010 and Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Server integration. We subscribe to agile coding for all types of data solutions for small/intermediate/humongouos size businesses.
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/soliloquies 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. Microsoft Windows arrived on the early '90s and this led to an easy decision to go forward with solutions in Microsoft Access. And now, with Access on the Web, the circle seems complete.

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
-- Access on the Web
-- Business solutions online -- Departmental apps
-- Enterprise apps
-- As a front-end for client/server apps
-- Intranet and Internet database 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.
