*** CUSTOM MICROSOFT ACCESS DATABASE PROGRAMMING HERE!!! ***
Experienced Microsoft Visual Basic / Access(all versions 97-2007)/SQL Server Database Programmer (8+ years, primarily medical and educational industry/business experience but can apply my skills to any industry) available for FULL-TIME WORK in or near the San Fernando Valley. Will consider temporary / contract jobs that can be done at my home office through the internet(not interested in working on location that is far away from me).
Very experienced with database design, tables, forms / screens, SQL / queries, reports, VB / Visual Basic / VBA, and SQL Server. Standalone Access apps or multi-user Visual Basic / Access front-end / SQL Server back-end Apps. Experienced using Windows Server Terminal Services / Remote Desktop to serve apps through the internet or simple file server sharing for local Access Applications. Can build a custom program from your idea. Show me your current manual process and I can automate it for you! If you have a broken or damaged database or you want to expand / modify your application I can help you too!
A Microsoft Access Database program works best in one of these 3 situations:
1) You want to run a database program on just one single Windows(XP or Vista) PC or laptop computer.
2) You have 2 or more networked(connected either by wireless or cable) Windows(XP or Vista) PCs or laptops with NO centralized Server computer(called a “Peer to Peer” network). The database program is installed on one PC/Laptop and then all other computers can share it.
3) You have 2 or more networked(connected either by wireless or cable) Windows(XP or Vista) PCs or laptops AND WITH AT LEAST ONE centralized Server computer(called a DOMAIN) running Windows Server 2003 or better. The database program is installed on the server and then all other computers can share it. This is faster and more secure than a Peer to Peer network. With a server computer you can store all your data in one place and it can easily be shared with the entire network and backed up nightly to prevent data loss.
Any of these 3 situations will work great with Access. And, as your company gets larger and you need more space than Access can handle alone your database can be upsized(moved to) to Microsoft’s SQL Server with very few changes which has more capacity than you’ll ever need. The data storage is moved to SQL Server but you can still use and keep your original Access program(screens, reports, program logic, etc) to access it. Access can grow as you grow.
Also experienced with PC hardware / repair / tech support / training, Windows networking, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access, etc), importing / converting different file formats. If interested, get back with a detailed message telling me:
1) who you are.
2) your business name and business type.

4) what you need exactly with some details.

5) your phone number.
