Possibly because I do it very rarely and suggested that he can contact me,
or anyone else that posts here. I have nothing for or against you...just pointing out that my advertising is limited to a link, and in the case of this original post there's not a simple answer. Pointing him to any qualified consultant wass the right thing to do here. Makes no difference if that's you, me or the guy down the street as long as the advice is solid.

How do I set up a small business database using Access??
Nah....I was specifically asked if I knew any database programmers that
would charge less than $5000. As it happens, I do. And its not me, its a good friend of mine that is between gigs right now. I get my work through other means. I've been coming to the newsgroups off and on for a number of years (Access and SQL Server) for the sole purpose of answering newbie questions. Sometimes people contact me, most times not, and that's fine. I've probably made solicitations 5 times in thousands of replies. Now, if I did this in every thread or every post then your point would be accurate. :-) Have a nice day... -- Kevin Hill President 3NF Consulting www.3nf-inc.com/NewsGroups.htm "StopThisAdvertising" StopThisAdvertising@Data**** wrote in message . nl...

Kevin, IMO your second post in this thread is also *only* job hunting and totally unneeded. Arno R |

How do I set up a small business database using Access??
The Access interface is pretty easy to use but if someone with absolutely no
experience told you they built an application from scratch in a couple of weeks, that application didn't do much. It was probably a very simple list manager which could probably have even been done with Excel. I know that Microsoft likes to promote Access as a database tool that anyone can use and it is but only in a very limited sense and to say anything else really denigrates the professional developer. I can prepare a tax return but that doesn't make me a professional or even capable of preparing your return if it has the slightest little twist to it. I have spent over 30 years designing applications. I really don't think anyone without any experience at all ( and even most with experience) could even come close to producing the quality product that I can produce. The cost of custom software can be surprising when you think about what you get with a product like QuickBooks for around $200. For custom development, you get quotes that can easily get into 5 digits for what you probably consider to be a very simple application. The difference is that thousands of copies of QuickBooks are sold every year over which development costs can be amortized but there is only ONE copy of your custom application. That means you must be prepared to pay the full cost. If your application is one that has market potential, you may be able to work out a deal with the developer to allow him to market the finished product. If you decide to do this, be sure to get a lawyer to draw up a reasonable contract to define ownership (you normally own work for hire in the absence of any other agreement) and revenue sharing. Try searching the web for the type of application you need. You might get lucky. More likely is that if you find something even remotely close, you'll have to change your way of doing business in order to work within the confines of the packaged software. You could struggle and try to create the application yourself but you will be taking time away from your business to do that. Is your time more valuable learning to be a developer or managing your business? Also, be wary of hiring the cheapest developer. This your business and you will end up with a better product if you let a professional develop it. Finding a professional is another matter. If you have any acquaintances who have successfully worked with a professional that they can recommend you can hire someone with a little bit of confidence. It is possible to find very cheap developers over the net (as low as $3.00 per hour if they're in India), but it is hard to know what you are buying plus communicating requirements is more difficult when you can't have face to face meetings, especially if you are trying to work with someone who doesn't speak English. Working remotely is doable though if your thoughts are well organized and you can communicate them effectively in writing. If you tell us a little more about your business, we might be able to recommend an off the shelf solution. "78cryj" wrote in message ... Thank you much Jeff! I thought about hiring a professional myself until someone told me that the microsoft Access software was very people friendly, and that they knew someone who had built their own database from scratch with no experience in a matter of a couple of weeks. I have tried my best, but all I know how to do is composing pages with like let's say a customer's profile, but how about methods of payement and all that good stuff so I will just go with a professional! Thanks for your reply! "Jeff Boyce" wrote: If you have little experience w/ either database applications or Access, brace yourself. The learning curve is fairly steep. Add "web" to that and you have a real project before you... You'll find that the newsgroups are great for answering specific questions, but a general "how do I set up a database/application to do xxxx" may only garner general suggestions. Good luck!
