FMS Papers Featured on the Microsoft Access Team Blog (August 21, 2010)

Our two papers on Microsoft Access, Windows Azure, and SQL Azure are featured on the Microsoft Access Product Development Team Blog


Microsoft Access and Cloud Computing with SQL Azure Databases (Linking to SQL Server Tables in the Cloud)

FMS President Luke Chung has written a detailed paper on his expectations of cloud computing and its revolutionary impact on our industry. He considers it the most significant trend since the rise of the Internet in the mid-1990's.

He's written two articles on this topic. The first is a general overview of how he sees cloud computing impacting our industry:

Microsoft Azure and Cloud Computing...What it Means to Me and Information Workers

Microsoft Access and Cloud ComputingThe second paper is an example of using SQL Azure with Microsoft Access databases. While much of cloud computing and especially Microsoft Azure is focused on the .NET community, there's much to offer to the Microsoft Access community as well. Follow the detailed step-by-step instructions on linking a Microsoft Access 2007 or 2010 database to tables stored in SQL Azure, Microsoft's SQL Server in the cloud.

Then, think about how the ability to create and host enterprise quality databases can impact what is possible for you.


Total Access Statistics 2010 Preview Version Extended (June 25, 2010)

Microsoft Access 2010We've updated and released a new version of the preview version of Total Access Statistics for Microsoft Access 2010. The original version expired on July 1, but this version is good through September 1. We hope you get a chance to use it and provide feedback on what you discover.

Total Access Statistics 2010 Preview Version Available (May 26, 2010)

We are pleased to announce the availability of the preview version of Total Access Statistics for Microsoft Access 2010. Total Access Statistics is the most popular data analysis program for Microsoft Access. It extends the data analysis capabilities of Access queries to let you perform advanced numerical analysis on your data. Use any Access table, linked table, or query to perform calculations such as percentiles, regressions, frequency distributions, t-Tests, correlations, non-parametrics, rankings, moving averages, etc. It can also perform data normalization and let you select random records. As you would expect in a query, you can specify Group By fields so analysis is performed on each set of records with identical group fields.

Total Access Statistics runs within Access with all output in Access tables. It supports MDB, ACCDB, and ADP databases.

In addition to supporting Access 2010, we've added financial calculations for cash flows. It now calculates net present value (NPV), present value (PV), future value (FV), internal rate of return (IRR), and modified internal rates of return (MIRR).

This FREE preview is available with support for both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Access 2010. It includes both the interactive wizard that runs as an add-in, plus the programmatic VBA library so you can embed statistical analysis in your applications.

The preview version is fully functional through July 1. Download: Total Access 2010 Preview Version

"Over the years, Fairfax County has established itself as a state and national leader through solid business growth and high quality public education.

Total Zip Code Database Now Has Geospatial Latitude and Longitude (April 2010)

In conjunction with the US Postal Service, FMS offers the Total Zip Code Database which gives you the entire list of valid zip codes and their corresponding city and state names. Both the primary and secondary city names are provided. Speed up data entry, eliminate typos, and clean up existing data with Total Zip Code Database. We also include the list of common city names the USPS doesn't like with their corresponding corrections. The database is provided on an annual subscription basis with an initial list and 11 monthly updates.
