  Purpose  
 
  • The purpose of reviewing your sample applications is to evaluate your skills in designing Access databases.
  • If you are an experienced and skilled Access developer, your best bet is to submit 2 mdb's with full access rights (design).
  • Ideally they would be 2 totally different applications that best display your skills and experience
  • We value good design over technical wizardry. Mdb's that demonstrate good design using only tables, queries, forms and reports impress us more than complex but poorly deigned applications.
 
  Required  
 
  • Minimum - 1 standalone access application with user level access (mdb or mde)
  • Optimal - 2 mdb's with design level access
 
  Privacy and Protection  
 

We will not use your data or design for any other purpose other than to evaluate your access skills. However, if you are concerned about this, you may take steps to ensure that your data and designs are protected.

 
   
  Data  
 
  • We don't care about your data.
  • The application only needs to have enough data (real or falsified) so that we can easily understand the forms and reports.
  • Feel free to take the following steps if you wish to:
    • Erase 99% of your data (and compact). We don't need it and we prefer a smaller file.
    • Falsify all of your data
    • Remove any logos, headings or mention of the application owner
 
  Design  
 

Although we prefer to see how you design applications, we understand that many developers are reluctant to share their design secrets. If you want to restrict access to your design, you may:

  • Submit mde's
  • Submit mdb's with user level access only
