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
