PHP Developers - Charts for PHP without Coding

Let's face it, Microsoft Access is in a bit of decline.  The market is moving increasingly online, and Microsoft Access 2013 is more tailored to light-weight web entry via Share Point than the old days of MS Access.  We'll still be supporting and enhancing our world-class Access products, there's life left yet in Access.

But today we announce ChartBuilder for PHP.  A new application that is easy to deploy, and helps create charts for MySQL databases without any coding!  Just embed the chart.php file in your page(s), and define how you want each chart to look.  Simple as that!

Here's a sample of what ChartBuilder can do in about 30 minutes from deployment to completion.

Create Microsoft Access Forms

We've just released our newest version of Designer for Microsoft Access. Version 3.0 features automatic MS Access forms creation.

After the success of our first product, UI Builder, we found that most Access users never intend to become database architects, and would prefer to just get on with using their database. Thus, we created Designer to make it far easier to build Access database tables and relationships using a plain-English Q&A style wizard. Over and over, Designer customers would tell us, "you're product is great, but how do I create data entry forms that will show all the information in one place." So we went back to work on Designer to solve that problem, too.

The new Designer creates tables and relationships automatically, and then creates forms with a "header" section that displays many records as a list, and then a bottom section that contains related records from other tables. For example, if you have a "Patients" form that displays a list of all patients in your database, the bottom section of the form Designer creates can display related appointments, emergency contacts, prescriptions, visits, and notes.

What Microsoft Access problems are you trying to solve? We love a challenge, especially if many Access users will benefit!
