 Re: IT / MS Access Support
Hi,
I would just like to add a balancing entry into the debate. From a technical standpoint I agree 100% with those suggesting your application be redeveloped.
However there can be a significant cost to any redevelopment that many soloists cannot justify.
In any applications life there is a point when the existing application is about to be too small, awkard or inappropriate for your business as it grows and changes. Trying to pick that point before it becomes a problem is the trick.
If your Access application only needs minor tuning and is still running fast and supporting your business then it is probably worth sticking with it if your funds are a bit tight. If however you expect a growth spurt or significant changes to the way you do business then definately look at redeveloping.
One more point while I am on my soapbox is that guys like those that have responded are the sort of people you want developing your applications. The reason is that they appear to have worked out their development concepts and philosophies in advance. This usually results in a far higher quality product than someone who has not considered these philosophical aspects.
Good luck with it.
