Total Access Admin 2010 Preview Version
Total Access Admin is a cool program that lets you point to a database on your network and see people going in and out of it in real time. You can see the connections start and end. You can also prevent new people from coming in, and perform database tasks like compact & repair when everyone has exited.

The new version supports Access 2010’s 32 and 64 bit versions. FMS welcomes feedback from the community.

Don't forget, Pacific Database have been Australian distributors of FMS products for over 10 years. Call us for a quote on your next FMS purchase. We can often offer FMS products cheaper (in Australia) than FMS.
