Access VBA Consulting

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), is a powerful programming language based on Microsoft's Visual Basic language.  Managed Business Consulting, Inc. consultants use VBA for it's Access application development efforts, and we can help you too. VBA is a powerful tool when used by professional developers that know how to implement it correctly.  If you need help converting Access Macros (which often don't work well, and can quickly get out of hand) to VBA, we can help you.

Excel Upgrades

Often, managers or other power users develop applications in Excel.  Excel is a great tool for taking data and analyzing it, manipulating it and prototyping how an application might behave.  At some point in the process, Excel spreadsheets become too unwieldy to manage. This is the point at which MS Access can be used to help you scale to the next level. Access can do almost everything that Excel can do, provided that the Excel calculations and analysis are well defined and stable.  Excel is better when you need a blank sheet of paper each time, or when data requirements are still in a state of flux. Access applications can be written that codify and document the process that was designed and created in Excel.  Managed Business Consulting, Inc. consultants have a great deal of experience converting such spreadsheets to Access applications.

Proof-of-Concept / Prototyping Services

Once the planning and design stage of a solution is complete, our knowledge of your business and industry can provide you with a prototype application or data structures to test out the viability of the concept. This service will allow you to mitigate risks, uncover new requirements, and accelerate the formation of a project team prior to the development or deployment of the solution.

MSDE - Microsoft Database Engine

MSDE is Microsoft's personal version of its SQL Server product line. It is a fully functional SQL Server, with licensing restrictions, and a few limitations imposed by the operating system. It is the intermediate step between Microsoft Access and SQL Server, and can be used on laptops and standalone machines. If you need help upsizing to MSDE, or need help understanding how MSDE works, we can help you.
