Inactive Shut Down Control for MS Access

Inactive Shut Down Control is a hidden MS Access form that can be opened in your application to keep track of periods of user inactivity. When the period of inactivity exceeds a specified limit, a warning message appears, and the application shuts down. It is easy to use, just import a form into your application, set the period of inactivity before shut down, and open the form in hidden mode from your application startup procedure.

LASsie (Light Application Security) for MS Access

LASsie (Light Application Security) is a Microsoft Access Add-In that enhances your Access application with a simplified user security system. Intended as an alternative to Access? built-in security, LASsie offers a less complicated way to secure forms, reports, controls and certain records from unauthorized user access. With LASsie, you can prevent a user from opening specific forms/reports, restrict their ability to update data on a form, disable certain controls, filter certain records, all based on a user?s assigned Security Level. LASsie includes a friendly user sign-on form that prompts for a login user name and password. Users can change their own passwords via the included "change password" form. Optionally, the sign-on form can be bypassed and the user's network login username can be used. Once the user name is verified, his/her session is assigned a Security Level code that determines which forms or reports can be accessed, if data updates are allowed, and more. LASsie is called "light" application security because it is not intended to be a robust, high-end security application. In fact, a sophisticated user could edit the underlying tables and change their own security level. By hiding the LASsie tables, and/or linking to them in an external, encrypted database, you could minimize the possibility of such potential breaches, but you should understand that we do not guarantee that such a breach will never occur. That being said, LASsie can serve quite well as an application security system where users are relatively unsophisticated, or where application data is not of a highly classified nature.

Button Painter for MS Access

Button Painter is an add-in for Microsoft Access that adds smooth gradient colors to your command buttons and allows for button color changes on mouse over and when buttons are clicked. You can create buttons similar to those used in Office/Outlook 2003 by default, or you can specify your own custom button colors. Add a nice cosmetic touch to your application and impress your boss, or your clients with this colorful and professional looking enhancement. When invoked from the Add-In menu, the Button Painter setup procedure updates* your application forms by adding special controls and event procedures. Your standard, bland MS Access command buttons will then come to life with color gradients that blend in with the Windows color scheme. You'll be able to easily add and remove these effects without affecting the function of your application. The demo includes an example of an order entry application that has an MS Outlook 2003 look and feel. This version is distributed as shareware. * Because Button Painter updates your forms, it is highly recommended that you make a backup of your database prior to using it.
