 Re: IT / MS Access Support
Without descending into a total rant.....and I don't mean to offend, but if an IT provider suggests building an application in Access; you need to find another IT provider. Brightspark and Adam Randall should be complimented for their restraint in their wise comments. Access is a whole bag of pain.
I agree with the comments on migrating to either a commercial (desktop or Software-as-a-Service) application that provides the functionality you require out of the box, or if the application is very bespoke to your needs, migrating the functionality to a database (MySQL, SQL Server, PostGreSQL, etc) and having something written (in Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, anything but Access) which satisfies your requirements.
Commercial time tracking software has come a long way in the last couple of years. It may be time to review your requirements and the available solutions in this space.
