New Features in Total Access Admin (Versions 14.0
and 11.5)
Two new versions were released:
- Total Access Admin 2010, version 14.0 for
Access 2010 and 2007
- Total Access Admin 2003, version 11.5 for
Access 2003 and earlier
Total Access Admin lets you monitor your
Microsoft Office Access/Jet databases better than
ever and includes many new features.
Multiple Database Support
Total Access Admin now lets you monitor
multiple databases from one screen. You can now
monitor multiple databases at once (provided they
have the same workgroup security, if any).

Add and
remove databases from your list, and perform
actions on all of them. Adding more databases is
easy with the Open Database button, or select it
from the dropdown list if it was previously
opened:

When you
attempt to open a second database, you are prompted to Add or Replace the
currently open database:

This prompt only appears once. After you choose
Add, every database you open is automatically added.
You can close them individually or close all of
them with a button click.
Sortable List of Users and Databases
The main form is now resizable and can be maximized
to show a larger grid of databases, users, and
their connection information. The list of users can also be
sorted by clicking on any of its columns:

Apply Actions to Multiple Databases
In addition to monitoring the connected users
to a database at one time, you can also perform
actions against all of them. This includes:
- Tasks to perform when all users exit the
database: compact it, close it, display a
notification, or exit after all databases are
closed.
- Tasks to perform if a suspect connection
occurs: display a notification, close it,
lockout other users, and/or compact it.
- Lockout all new users from opening the
database
- Signal the database to close down for idle
users
- Send an administrative message to all
databases
Button to Open the Activity Log File
If you are logging your users' activity, a
button opens the log database. See the list of
databases, users, activities, and times.
Command Line Enhancement
This version also introduces a new command line
switch that overrides the default path of the
Activity Log file.
Additional Documentation and Samples
A new help file is included. The sample databases are also enhanced with separate
examples for ADO and DAO and how to implement a table driven system
for logging out and sending messages to your users.
Microsoft Access Version Support
Total Access Admin 2010
In addition to supporting all Access/Jet MDB databases from Access
2.0 to
2010, Total Access Admin 2010 also supports Access 2007-2010 ACCDB format
created by the 32 or 64 bit version of Access 2010. Support for this format requires Access 2007
or 2010 32 bit version to be installed on
the machine.
Total Access Admin 2003, version 11.50
Total Access Admin 2003 supports all Microsoft Access/Jet MDB databases.
It does not support Access 2007-2010 ACCDB
databases. This version runs on almost all Windows
platforms since Jet is included and does not need
to have Access installed on that machine.
