Administrator screen in Total Access Startup.

Total Access Startup lets you ensure your users always use the correct version of Access, and automatically update the local copy of your database when you release a new version. Centrally manage your Access applications for everyone on your network. If your users are running your application for the first time, Total Access Startup installs the database for them. If there are other files required, you can also launch a batch file or setup program. When you update your database, your users local copy is automatically updated the next time they launch it. You can also launch a batch file or setup program if additional files need to be installed (different from what you run for the initial installation). If the user doesn't have the right version of Access installed on their machine, Total Access Startup displays a customized message showing the error along with your contact information. This gracefully handles the problem and prevents the user from inadvertently converting the database because the wrong version of Access is started.

Updates in 2010

• Microsoft Access 2010 Support - builds on previous version with additional features to support Microsoft Access 2010
• Support for Microsoft Office Access 2010 32 and 64 bit Versions - Adds support for launching your MS Access databases using Microsoft Access 2010 while specifying whether to use the 32-bit version, 64-bit version, or either. Because of the significant differences between the 32 and 64 bit versions, your application may only run one or the other. With Total Access Startup 2010 you can make sure your users never launch it with the wrong version.
• Supports all Multiple Access Database Formats - Support remains for all Access database formats including: Microsoft Access 2007-2010 ACCDB, Microsoft Access MDB formats and Access Data Projects (ADPs)
• Support Multiple Access Versions - Total Access Startup 2010 lets you specify a preferred Access version and older versions. You can specify Microsoft Access 2010 down to Access 2000. If the user has Access 2010 installed, it is launched. If not, it tries to find Access 2007, then Access 2003, etc. If it can't find that, your message for a missing Access version is displayed. This lets you support those with the latest version of Access immediately and those who haven't migrated. Of course, your database must support all the versions you specify. Conversely, you can specify an older Access version and any later versions and it will work in reverse.
• Support New Operating Systems - Total Access Startup 2010 supports Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit versions), along with older Windows versions including XP, Vista, 2000, 98, 95, etc. Total Access Startup 2010 supports all operating systems that work with Microsoft Access.
