A
Client's Response ...
May 4, 2007
Teresa,
"This could not have been any truer! ....
I am EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU and
equally happy! WOW!!!"
C. DiFranceisco
America First Search & Abstract, Inc.
(excerpt from
Teresa's interview, published in CIPS May 2007)
“I also have time for my clients. Actually, I'm as
passionate about my clients and their projects as I am about my
groups.
As a consultant, I am incredibly fortunate to get to work on
projects from a wide spectrum of industries. Every project provides
new challenges for finding ways to manage data, streamline and
automate.
Understanding my client's industries, operations and needs, I feel
like
I'm their partner and it is important to provide cost effective
solutions.
With the savings and benefits, my solutions typically pay for
themselves in a matter of months.
My biggest reward is knowing that I truly made a difference.”

Do what you enjoy,
and you'll be good at it.
I enjoy helping others, both professionally and
personally. So it is a natural fit for me to direct my energies into helping
businesses to succeed, leading the Access developer groups, raising money
for Spinal Cord Society, being with my family, and helping my friends and
colleagues.
I offer consulting and mentoring for project
management, database development and business solutions. Working together,
we will look at the big picture, define the critical needs, and stay focused
on the goal.
With over 30 years of automating office tasks, managing projects and running
my own company, I've learned what it takes to lead a team to success.
My opportunities have included:
w
Instituting a national training center for the
Department of Energy (from initial concept
to implementation)
w Leading negotiations Federal and state
agencies.
w Creating automated financial statements for a
three state corporation; including budgeting
and forecasting, and the ability to review by
store or department.
w Creating a paperless patient tracking system
for a teen clinic in Uganda, as a pro-bono
project.
w Earning the award of Microsoft MVP
for 6
consecutive years.
w Becoming an NQA-1 certified lead auditor.
You can leverage my expertise and experience to
create cost effective solutions that are right for YOU.

Margaret Meacham 1920 - 2011
For the past few years, much of my time
and energy have been devoted to my Mom. She was a remarkable woman, who
taught us to be good to others and to take responsibility for ourselves. Your
support and compassion have helped immensely, so I thought it would be nice
to share some thoughts and recent photos
of Mom and me.

Papa is what many would call, the salt of earth. On June 22, 2012, I had
the distinct honor and pleasure of joining him to celebrate his 90th
birthday.
For the most part, it doesn't seem that people recognize and appreciate how
much Papa and people like him have done for our country. He provides a
strong moral basis and sense of responsibility.

Review: "I
have to say that you have surpassed yourself with the Access
Programmer's Reference this time. Very, very nice. I usually use
books like that for reference, to look up stuff when I have a
question, but in this case I have literally been reading it in large
chunks and finding it hard to put down. Especially the new
Access 2010 functionality, I have already learned heaps.
So thanks a lot for that, I just wanted to let you know that I am
mighty impressed with this one. :-)" Steve Schapel, Access MVP

I love your books. I have them all.
RibbonX 2007 helped me creating stunning ribbons for my Access
applications.

Everything about the Ribbon is new; all serious developers will need, and
many others will want, to know how to customize it, and this book tells you
how to do it. The authors have done a splendid job of explaining it all
without assuming any prior knowledge, guiding the reader through the jungle
of VBA and XML in three different applications. It is a huge subject and
different people will want different things from it; the book is packed (but
not cluttered) with clear cross-references so that you don't have to read
everything to get up and running with the particular thing you want to do.
No matter what your ability or experience you will learn from this book, I
already have. As computer books go, it's better than most, it's cheap, and
worth far more: buy it!

Order NOW from Amazon
This
book has extensive coverage of an area vital to Access developers and power
users, by a very knowledgeable team, ably led by Teresa Hennig. It includes
something more than an overview explaining new features of Access 2007. That
is important because: many features are new and changed in Access 2007, much
of what we do with VBA is automating and enhancing features we use manually
via the user interface, and the new Office 2007 user interface can be
overwhelming without a helping "hand up". Then the book covers VBA from the
basics to in-depth advanced levels. It is a worthy successor to the Access
2003 VBA Programmer's Reference and, in my opinion, "raises the bar" for VBA
books. I'll be using it as a reference in presentations to my Access user
groups, as well as a handy reference for my own work. I recommend it to
Access power users, as well as aspiring and working Access developers.

Your practical examples and anticipatory comments make this manual a
valuable learning experience. You not only care about conveying
useful information, but have the necessary practical experience to
be a trustworthy guide regarding design options.
Nice job!

This Data Dynamics Northwest website was originally
published as the Database Answer Site, which became a reference for several
university classes and a resource suggested by by database tech support
teams. The site was initiated in the late 90's by Teresa Hennig when she saw a
great need to make it easy to find simple, straight answers to questions about databases.
Questions like:
What are databases?
What benefits do they have for
businesses?
What do they cost?
Many new clients would have some idea that a
database could help them run their business, but they wouldn’t know where to start looking.
And now, the abundance of information and opinions is so vast as to be
overwhelming. So, if you are among the many who are looking for basic
information from someone who makes a personal investment in every project,
then
this site is for you.
Sections included in this site are under the headings of as answers to
simple questions, the benefits of using databases, why getting customized,
professional help may be your best choice, the use of databases on the web
or intranet, and Teresa’s favorite links. And you do not want to miss the
valuable information in the About Us section.
This site is optimized for the most recent Internet browsers. And although
we are experienced with Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server databases,
most of the information given here applies to all types of
databases.
Life is full of opportunities,
remember to celebrate them all!
SCS
- Research to Cure Paralysis
The 2008 SCSNW golf tournament
provided a new fund raising challenge.
I needed to sell 96 gift sets of
wine -
and there weren't that many buyers.
The theme was black, white and silver, so I dressed the part, sans
top hat 'n tails.
As one golfer put it ...
"Who could say no
to those legs!"
The wine sets raised over $4,000!
and we raised another $4,000 from photos & pledges.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! |
220 miles representing
22 years in a chair!
This 2006 fund raising effort was dedicated to my

freak construction accident in 1983.
YOUR support helped
raise
$10,000
for research to cure paralysis.

Database
A database
is a collection of data. An address book or a phone directory are well
known databases. Unlike one of these written or printed databases, with
a computerized database you are not stuck with a single format. Not only
can you search for a phone number, you can also search for an address, a
first name, or whatever other data, or combination of data, is in the
collection. Then you add the fact that a computer database is not
restricted to only certain data like name, address, and phone number and
you really have something. You can collect any data you specify, such as
part numbers, order numbers, dates, or product prices.
