Hello Liveson

 

I have needed a Access Accounting database for non profit to add to my contact management system. I want to use Access and not a third party problem like Peachtree or etc..

Can yours be shared? I would love to see it.

Hi

 

I designed an accounting system in Access more than 5 years ago and it is still working today. It does almost everything that a good accounting system is expected to do e.g. Journals, Debtors, Creditors, Trial Balance, Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Closure of accounts, support for multi-company accounts, bank reconciliation, etc.

 

It is believed that Access might start misbehaving when the tables grow big (say over 1GB). In that case you can easily upsize the mdb to an SQL backend while maintaining Access front end.

 

Well that's just my experience. Someone may come in with more information.

 

Regards

 

Liveson

I've joined a lot of Yahoo!Groups over the years where newbies are
scolded for asking questions right away, but after reading some of the
archived messages it looks like it'd be OK for me to just jump right in
and ask away. Sorry in advance if that's not true. :-)

I'm going to be designing a DB (as a favour, in exchange for product)
for a five-person cosmetics manufacturing company selling retail over
the net, wholesale to distributors and on consignment to drugstores,
beauty shops etc.

Now that they're sold on the idea of the DB (up til now they've been
struggling to get along in Excel and Simply Accounting - the latter of
which no-one in the office knows very well), they were wondering if
they'll need SA at all. I - unfortunately - don't know that app, and
was wondering if anyone could direct me to a resource where I could
find out the limits of Access's functionality in this regard?

As for my bona-fides, I'm an end-user applications instructor (MS and
Lotus) and I've designed about a half-dozen Access DBs for small
offices, but they've been mostly contact/file management; this will be
my first DB that focuses on inventory/sales. I'll be doing the grunt
work, and I have a friend who'll be helping me with the coding (if any).
