QuickBooks offers an astounding platform to businesses where they can maximize their profits and enhance its productivity simultaneously. The initial approaches made by Intuit were limited to a local area and businesses were unable to extend the territory any further. Till the time QuickBooks desktop remote access came to notice, most of the businesses were connected to the database server through a hard-wired system i.e., LAN. After the launch of QuickBooks hosting, SMBs and various medium-sized businesses geared up for the cloud, in turns, which going to provide complete data security and remote connections. The whole industry, business-specific, was precisely questing for platforms that are secure, flexible and most importantly mobile. In such digital trending era, even accountants are looking forward to reaching on the cloud networks where all the data ca...

Placement of your wireless access points is the first layer of security for your wireless network. If your wireless access points can be physically touched by a passerby you have major problems. The easiest way to hack a wireless access point is walk up to it and press the reset button. This will make it default back to an open network and poof you have keys to the kingdom When placing your wireless access point the only thing you should be able to see is maybe the antenna. You can purchase access point antennas that look like ceiling panels or fire alarms. If a hacker is in your building probing your wireless network he is going to look for access points. If he can determine the make and model of your access point he can search the Internet for default passwords and vulnerabilities for that access point. Finally when placing your wireless antennas outdoors try and make them blend into the building as much as possible. You should use a wireless directional antenna that is flat against ...

Microsoft Access is showing its age. Most of the techniques (File Server, VBA, DAO, Jet Database Engine, etc) hark back 20 or more years. Microsoft will continue supporting VBA for many years to come, but the programming emphasis is rapidly changing in favour of Visual Basic.Net and SQL Server. For company administration systems, the combination of a VB.Net FrontEnd with an SQL Server BackEnd database is the ideal. Visual Basic is business rules oriented and SQL Server is efficient and easy to maintain. VB.Net Upgrade Conversion Reasons The reasons for an upgrade from Microsoft Access to Visual Basic.Net and an SQL Server database are: A strategic corporate decision A worry about the future of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) The difficulty and cost in supporting obsolete and error ridden code The difficulty and cost in supporting code written by amateurs without regard to standards The need to replace an inefficient administration system that just “grew like Topsy” The n...

Working with Microsoft Access designing a new database, the question here is what is the core process of the database that you are trying to define? Access Database design is more of an art than a science and common sense will prevail. By taking the time to identify the core process correctly, you will find that additional processes will plug in easily keeping the structure of the system stable and solid enough as time goes by and data volume increases. If you apply some of Microsoft Access techniques including ‘Database Normalisation’ rules (up to the third norm) and deal with relationships (tables joins) and setting their keys & indexes, this too will determine the solid foundation to build on. Scenario: Let’s take an example process like a ‘Sales Order Processing’ database system which has a list of international customers based in the UK, USA and/or Canada who place orders (eventually invoiced) for one or more food products (items) periodically (fo...

The Field Design & Validations This is the last step which completes the ‘back-end’ database design process and steps 6 and 7 (later articles to follow) focuses on the ‘front-end’ database design process and is deemed optional to this final step of the ‘back-end’ database design process. In this section, I’m going to discuss the process which talks about the field’s properties and the business rules of how fields control data input. If you are not designing input screens (Access Forms), then the process could effectively stop here. If however, you intend to handle ‘front-end’ processes for your database, this is the preliminary step of setting the best fit attributes (ideally in table design view mode). You will therefore need to know about what properties are and how and where you apply them. Properties is a general term to describe an attribute of an object. For an example, a field (the object) has many attributes to it ...

I’m often hired to carry out and audit an Access database application that has been built and re-developed over the years due to: The developer (perhaps a former employee) has since left the organisation and left no documentation. An individual has accidentally locked a database and can not gain access which requires an official ‘hack’. Some of the components to the Access database has been lost and users need some new functions added. New administrators have been given a database and do not have enough knowledge to extend the system reports. The client wants an honest opinion on how well (or poorly) designed an Access database has been built and implemented. But with a little bit of training and know how, there are some basic but simple tasks that users can carry out for themselves to breakdown and understand an Access database before calling in the repairman/woman. I have 5 common tips to help you on your way: With most well designed Access database systems, you norm...

Microsoft Access 2013 is the software that has progressed over the ages from Access 1.1 in 1992 until now. Office Professional 2013 Software (which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Access) will allow you to install and run Access 2013 as usual. The Office 365 version is paid by monthly subscription and provides Web services to Office 2013. It includes the Office Professional 2013 software as well as Access 365 and Access 2013. Access 365, besides the name “Access”, has little to nothing in common with Access 2013 or previous versions of Access. What is Access 365 all about? Access 365 is a tool for creating web apps that run within SharePoint 2013. The old .ACCDB format has been abandoned. New applications should use the Access 365 model, or stick with Access 2010. Access 365 allows the rapid creation of small applications using the standard web technologies of HTML5, CSS and JavaScript in a simplified web development environment. One big feature is that Access ...
