"I knew Total Visual Agent was a great product, but I needed it to
run as an NT service. When the new version came out, I bought it the
first day"
- Louis Levine, Senior Vice President, NGP Software, Inc.
Case Study
"The FMS Total Visual Agent does more than repair, compact and
backup backend Access databases. It really is a pretty general
database administration tool. It can make archive copies, send these
to zip files or put backup or archive copies in other directories or
on other file servers, and you can establish automatic schedules for
all these things. It also can read the databases to find out how
many records are currently in the various tables, how many fields of
what types, and produces a bunch of statistical reports about this
kind of stuff. This is extremely useful in a multi-user community
when you're trying to keep track of the stuff that's being entered,
it's sizes, etc. It doesn't care how many Access databases it's
supposed to manage, and I've even found that I can deploy it to
reach down to some key PC's and maintain the DB's on those. While
it's possible to write code to do all this yourself, this tool
provides very good value for the money and is a good investment for
any medium to large-size organization. This is one of the few things
I've found more much more useful to purchase than to write myself."

"I often use this wonderful tool to schedule complex management
reports to run in the middle of the night. Total Visual Agent runs
the reports when no one is in the system. This means that processing
involved in creating the reports does not degrade the performance of
users trying to get their jobs done during the day...the reports are
ready waiting for the users when they arrive at the office in the
morning."

Development
"My clients absolutely loved and depended on the
previous Total Access Agent product. It allowed them to schedule a
'no fuss, no muss' backup, repair and compact in the middle of the
night. The new Total Visual Agent product blows the doors off the
prior version. This utility is a 'must have' for anyone using
Microsoft Access databases for important business applications. I
can't wait to get all my clients upgraded!"
- John Viescas, Microsoft MVP, Author of Running Microsoft
Access
"At my work I had to be able to retrieve some data
from our AS/400 and 'publish' them to a Access application that runs
at one of our production sites. When this application is done
working with the data, they have to be exported to a Informix SQL
system running on a SCO Unix. This was setup using ODBC and I them
made some queries to transfer the data and made some macros that
made all this easy to do in one step. I then had only one problem -
how to do this without any user input. I took a tour on the net and
found Total Visual Agent and saw that this could be the solution to
my problems. And I must say that it was. 30 minutes after
installation the project was up and running completely
automatically. And I got compacting and backup-options for free. I
can only recommend this product to others that has to deal with
similar problems."

"Total Visual Agent is a real find, a rare combination
of ease of use, and bang for the buck. In the end, no other
competitor even comes close."
- Thomas Wagner, Product Review in MS Office and VBA Developer
"I bought the Agent product six months ago, and I find
that it is an extremely useful timesaving program. It operates so
intuitively that reading the manual is practically unnecessary."
- Gershon Shain, Rehovot, Israel
