Review

Conclusion: Awesome! It is not often we can so enthusiastically recommend Tools for Access. But the Total Access Analyzer and the Total Access Detective are simply the best tools of their kind I have ever used. You can produce Access databases of the highest professional quality by using them. They make you look good. They are worth every penny you invest in them.

Review: The Two Best Tools for Microsoft Access I Have Ever Used

The one I use, when I have little idea of what I'm working on (IOW someone else's database) is Total Access Detective

Using Total Access Detective, you can easily compare any two objects in one database or any two databases with each other. This is extremely beneficial in a multi-developer environment where different developers are making changes to different database objects. Total Access Detective assists you with the process of merging changes made by multiple developers.

Your Total Detective saved the day as my employee imported the wrong table to the server. We used Total Access Detective to detect the changes the next day when the issue was discovered, and were able to rectify the situation which would otherwise be unsolvable without this tool.

Total Access Detective saves the day again! I was puzzled why a feature that worked 3 months ago was no longer working in the latest version. I couldn’t figure it out. I then decided to run a comparison on the forms and the answer was right there in the module code. I had different code in the On Current event which is somewhere I didn’t think to look. Great tool. Thank you.

This awesome development tool lets you track differences between database versions…I highly recommend Total Access Detective, particularly if your work involves making changes over a period of time. (Review)

Definitely a useful tool to anyone maintaining a stable of Access applications.
