Total Access Startup 2010 released

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 15:47:00 GMT

Administrator screen in Total Access Startup.

Start the right version of Microsoft Access and your database every time, now supports Microsoft Access 2010.

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.

Assembly Manager V1.0 launched

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 14:38:17 GMT

Generated Scripts in Assembly Manager.

Total transparency and control over assemblies in SQL Server.

Assembly Manager is a Windows application for Microsoft SQL database administrators and developers that greatly simplifies the task of managing CLR (Common Language Runtime) assemblies in a live database environment. CLR integration - first released with SQL 2005 - offers a rich, powerful and safe way to extend native SQL functionality that delivers high performance and flexibility compared with conventional scripted T-SQL functions and other objects. However, the native administration capabilities provided within SQL Server Management Studio make it difficult to manage and control significant numbers of CLR-defined objects across multiple databases and servers. Assembly Manager provides a much higher degree of visibility and control - making it very easy to add and remove CLR-defined objects, perform upgrades, maintain consistency between databases, enforce policy, implement and manage security schema, generate change and rollback scripts and so on.

Features

Assembly Manager is ideal for database administrators, it gives immediate visibility and control over which assemblies and assembly-defined-objects are installed on which databases, whether any of the assemblies are marked with EXTERNAL or UNSAFE permission sets, and which security schema are in use. It substantially reduces the effort required to carry out changes, allows changes to be scripted out and inspected before execution, and provides a roll-back mechanism for changes so that they can be backed out. It also provides non-administrators with the ability to safely define the changes required in the form of a series of change actions, and pass them over to you in an actions file that can be loaded up to allow you to see the effect the changes will have before they are applied.

For database developers and solutions architects TotallySQL Assembly Manager makes the use of MS SQL's powerful CLR integration features a viable and worthwhile option for your organization, by taking away the headache associated with CLR assembly administration. It provides total visibility and control over the CLR assemblies and the functions, aggregates, stored procedures, types and triggers that are defined in them. By just pointing and clicking you can easily choose which features to install in which databases, and you can copy assemblies and programming objects between databases by simply dragging and dropping or cutting and pasting. You can define change scripts and hand them over to your DBA for review and implementation - or if you have the appropriate permissions you can apply the changes yourself.

Assembly Manager benefits

100% GUI-based management interface - all tasks can be accomplished with simple point & click operations
Fully client-based - there is nothing to install on the servers that are being managed
Full support for all CLR object types: scalar & table-valued functions, procedures, aggregates, types and triggers
Import & export assembly files between SQL servers and disk-based storage
Directly copy or move assemblies between databases on the same or different servers
Drag & drop or cut, copy & paste assemblies and their child objects between databases and to/from disk
Drop an assembly and all its child objects with one click - no need to remove them one by one
Choose which objects from an assembly are to be installed within SQL by clicking checkboxes
Give objects any name and any schema within SQL - they do not have to match the names in the assembly
Parameter defaults can be set for functions and stored procedures
Perform bulk schema changes over multiple assemblies and objects in one go
View all objects inside an assembly that can be used by SQL and their internal class and method names
Upgrade assemblies without having to drop them (so no need to drop dependent objects first)
Full support for CLR triggers: clone them for multiple targets and select multiple trigger events
Manage server & database settings needed for CLR operation (e.g. CLR ENABLED, TRUSTWORTHY etc.)
Auto-create asymmetric keys and logins for code authentication with EXTERNAL or UNSAFE assemblies
Full inter-assembly dependency checking - e.g. auto-add referenced assemblies; auto-drop dependent assemblies
Maintain & share libraries of assemblies that can be used to enable a cookie-cutter installation approach
Deferred execution: make multiple pending changes and see their effect before applying them live
Smart execution ordering for actions - avoids clashes e.g. by installing types before functions that use them
Save and load change actions as predefined change sequences for later execution (e.g. by DBA).
For every action a rollback is automatically created: any sequence of changes can be rolled back in one go
Roll back action sequences can be saved to disk for later use if needed
Detailed error messages from SQL displayed when actions cannot complete (e.g. because of permissions)
Create, view & execute T-SQL change scripts with Assembly Manager or launch them in Management Studio
Add or remove associated files that can be used as resource files from within the assembly code
Login credentials for multiple servers can be securely cached for rapid start-up
'Spoofs' Visual Studio so assemblies deployed with Assembly Manager can be deployed over using VS

Total Access Emailer allows you to generate personalized email for everyone in your table or query. Messages can be in text or HTML format with attachments. Total Access Emailer allows you to use field values in your email subject and message to create unique, personalized emails for each recipient. You can even maintain an audit trail to know who was contacted when with Total Access Emailer.

Updates in Total Access Emailer for Access 2010

Supports Microsoft Access 2010, 32 and 64 bit Versions
Total Access Emailer 2010 includes support for both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Office/Access. This includes the Total Access Emailer add-in, and for the Professional Version, the VBA runtime libraries and distribution programs
Compress Attached Files into One Zip File and Password Protect It
Total Access Emailer can automatically compress all your file attachments into one zip file that is emailed to your recipient. You can even add a password for additional security. These features are on the Attachment tab when editing an email blast: The name of the zip file and password can be explicitly provided (example above) or use values from fields in your data source to create a unique file name and password for each recipient
Customize Attached File Names Based on Field Values
Total Access Emailer now supports field references for embedded object names. Previously, the object names were fixed values. Now you can use the value from another field for all or part of its name.
Attachment File Extension Automatically Updated
Additionally, when specifying the output format of an attachment, the extension for the file name is automatically changed based on your selection. So switching from HTML to PDF automatically updates the file name from a *.HTML to *.PDF. If you give your file name a non-standard extension, it is not modified.
International Extended Character Support
Total Access Emailer supports text and HTML emails containing non-Roman, international characters such as: Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Russian and Urdu.

New Programmatic Interfaces to Improve Email Automation through VBA
Several new VBA functions are available in the Professional Version to provide more options and control for VBA developers. For additional details, visit Sending Microsoft Access Email Blasts Programmatically (VBA):
Send One Email
Rather than creating an email blast from the Total Access Emailer add-in, a new function, TotalAccessEmailer_SendOne, lets you specify the information for sending one email. Provide the FROM address, TO address, subject, message, etc., and the email is sent using your SMTP settings.
Preview Email Blasts
In addition to sending email blasts, you can also preview the emails by sending them to an email of your choice along with the number of records to process. This is similar to the interactive Preview feature from the add-in which you can now incorporate in your application.
Update and Test SMTP Settings
Two new procedures, TotalAccessEmailer_SetPasswords and TotalAccessEmailer_SMTP_IsValid, let you specify the passwords and test the SMTP settings. The sample database includes a form you can import into your application to give your users this feature as well.
