Fixing and Troubleshooting

At Access Database Development.co.uk we understand that sometimes databases do not work as expected. Error messages pop up that don’t seem to go away, systems run too slowly, data goes missing. Don’t worry, we can help! As Microsoft Access specialists we have the skills and experience to solve your database problems quickly and can give your database a health check to avoid future problems and advise about backups to minimise disruption should the unthinkable happen.

Upgrades and Enhancements

We don’t always need to create or fix databases, we often deal with companies that would just like to change the way an existing database works. We work with many clients where the original developer of the database has left the company or is otherwise unavailable. We have no problem putting the current system on a sound footing and moving them forward as required. If you know that you would like a change but are not quite sure what or how then just let us know, we are happy to give free business consultations.

Your database should adapt and grow as your business evolves. Typical enhancements we make to Access database systems includes multiple levels of integration, importing or exporting information, the addition of new forms or fields, changes to queries and reports etc.

Upgrading to Access from Excel

A common service we offer is upgrading a business from Excel to Microsoft Access. Excel is very useful but it can be a time consuming tool to use and often poses difficulties in generating reports / data storage. Many companies find that it is a struggle to manage data within Excel software.

We can help you successfully manage the migration of Excel spreadsheets to a Microsoft Access-based database solution resulting in significant time savings and making everyone’s lives much easier. In most cases, all the data in your spreadsheets can be moved to Access ensuring you have the continuity you need.

Upgrading from MS Access to Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL or other scalable databases

While Microsoft Access is the most popular database system in use today, it is not best-suited to environments with large numbers of concurrent users, very high transaction volumes or situations in which the database may need to be accessed from different locations. For these scenarios, a MySQL database or Microsoft SQL Server are good choices. Being that Microsoft Access and SQL Server work very well together, the upgrade allows you to preserve your investment in Access development while gaining the benefits of the SQL Server database platform. MySQL database is open-source and very widely used too so it can be similarly straight forward to migrate from a MS Access database to a MySQL database.  So, while “system upgrades” and “database migration” might fuill you with dread we are here to make the process less daunting.  Let Access Database Development ease you through the conversion process from migration to modification.
