I love MS Access and VBA, they've been my passion for over 25 years and I've become a pro at developing amazing apps and automating. My apps are top quality: user-friendly, very well thought out, packed with functionality yet simple to use, and are developed with an eye towards minimal clicking and thinking for the user. Automation and streamlining is a constant theme in everything I do. I believe that you and people in your company shouldn't do ANY manual repeating tasks because they can all be automated. I'm excellent at automation, I will ask a ton of questions to learn your workflow and will then develop an app that will do most of your work for you. I can also do anything you need when it comes to updating existing MS Access applications, automating your workflow, converting Excel sheets to MS Access applications, converting MS Access applications to SQL or to newer versions of MS Access, and writing Excel macros. I'm quick to reply to messages I'm easy to work with, no condescension here :) I have many libraries of reusable VBA code, forms, and reports, which greatly speed up development
