Customer Testimonials
"Total Access Analyzer has saved me a
lot of time. It's THE program to keep overview in large Access applications, and is also
very handy for documenting applications."
W.M.J. Kruse, Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij B.V., The Netherlands
"Total Access Analyzer is the most
comprehensive analysis tool for Access development that money can buy. It pays for itself
with your very first analysis run against an MDB."
Wayne Macaulay, Cybermed Corporation, Cary, NC
"Total Access Analyzer saved me weeks of
code cleaning and greatly enhanced my applications' performance!"
Kevin Mullins BsC, KDM Technologies, London, England
"Total Access Analyzer solves Access
documentation headaches for good! It not only saves weeks of time in documenting Access
databases, it's also easy to understand and has a great user interface."
Daine Niemand, KPMG, South Africa
"The Total Access Analyzer is a must have tool for any Access developer! Until Total Access Analyzer, there was no easy and quick way to fully
document and understand the architecture of an Access database. This tool
paid for itself the first time my team used it and continues to pay for itself over and
over.
This tool is critical when reverse engineering databases we have inherited
from other developers. When a developer has not incorporated good development practices, understanding the database architecture has been like
trying to navigate the New York subway system without a map. Total Access
Analyzer allows us to map out the database to start making sense of how the various
objects are being used. We can then begin to eliminate unused objects. Finally we start figuring out how to clean up the database. Using
traditional methods (lots of wasted time hand mapping the system) this could
take days. Now we can do it in matter of minutes. Another tool that has proven helpful is the
Total Access Detective. The ability to compare objects
can help us to quickly tell the difference between various objects with in
different versions of a database."
Chris Kunicki, Senior Associate, Team Technical Lead, Plural, NY
"I used Total Access Analyzer to create a data dictionary for our 12 products in less than
one week. Before using Total Access Analyzer, I avoided doing this for ~2 years because I did not think
I would ever have the time to complete the project. I used this information to reduce the
number of data names from ~3000 to under 500. It 'paid' for itself in one week."
Ron Lyon, MedIntelligence, Sacramento, CA
