Summary:

More than 13 years of IT experience as an
MS Access developer, 11 of which as a Senior MS Access Developer.  This includes design, development,
implementation and testing of applications using MS Access, all versions, from
2.0 through 2007. VBA, Visual Basic, Crystal Reports, ODBC, SQL, ActiveX, SPSS,
MS Word, MS Excel and SQL Servers as back end under Windows NT environment with
extensive experience in: stored procedures, triggers, data modeling, systems
design and project management, data analyst, database  administration,   database documenter and tester.  This is everything needed to begin and
complete database projects to the utmost. 
Security Issues: I know how to secure databases.  When I did the work for the Small Business
Administration I placed 4 levels of security in the code to make sure data was
seen only by those who should see it, manipulate it etc.  When I was with the Washington Navy Yard I
secured a dozen databases from “unsafe expressions” to make them function with
alternate code.  This required extensive
rebuilding of some of the databases.

4.0/98/95/3.51/3.11/3.1 Used Oracle, ADO
and SQL Server as back end on several databases as an ODBC connection.  (No Oracle programming, though).


Robotic Testing and Documentation: 


Large databases require huge amounts of testing.  Some need this done robotically (by computer)
to make practical.  Documenting the database is also aided by robotic techniques built into
the program for fast and efficient documentation.  I create the robotic programs for your
systems.
