Access as a Development Platform for Departmental Applications
Access is perfect for developing applications for departments in large corporations. It's
relatively easy to upgrade departmental users to the appropriate hardware-for example, it's much
easier to buy additional RAM for 15 users than it is for 4,000! Furthermore, Access's
performance is adequate for most departmental applications without the need for client/server
technology. Finally, most departments in large corporations have the development budgets to
produce well-designed applications.
Fortunately, most departments usually have a PC guru who is more than happy to help design
forms and reports. This gives the department a sense of ownership because they have
contributed to the development of their application. It also makes my life as a developer much
easier. I can focus on the hard-core development issues, leaving some of the form and report
design tasks to the local talent.
