$15-25 CAD / hour

"Sandbox project" linking MS Access with Firebird databaseOur business uses software built around a Firebird database. It is probably very powerful but it is complex to use and we do not have an IT department. As the CFO, I would like to experiment (and I have started a bit already) with building linkages to the Firebird database and then building queries and reports in Access that I can use to analyze the data. I'm probably described as a low lever "power user" of Excel, but only have a rudimentary knowledge of Access. I believe Access is the better tool to build forms and reports for use in our business. We would be similar to a automotive repair shop, but we work with aircraft rather than cars, so there is lots of detail involved in every work order. I'm hoping I can find a consultant that can help me build some user friendly forms and reports that utilize the live data from our Firebird database (I have had some success with this so far) and are easier and more flexible than the highly structured enterprise software we use for all our our basic functions (and sits on top of the Firebird database). The work would initially be small bits (experimenting with establishing data links) and if we can communicate well, move on to simple forms and reports. If the work is wildly successful, there could be more hours, but I would think the max budget would be $5,000, maybe 10,000 per year. I would guess that the work would be described by an experienced Access developer as basic stuff. Good communication skills would be a must.

Hi, my name is Esteban Salpeter and I'm an expert MS Access developer, with many years of experience on that platform. You can check out my portfolio to view some of my work. Your requirement is very clear, so I believe we can do a great job together. Back in year 2000, I was already working with MS Access and I had to accomodate to a new implementation of Meta4 HR Software (similar in size to SAP, but only HR and strong payroll), and ended connecting my Access App directly to the MSSQL Srvr DB. So I have a deep understanding of the type of solution you're looking for. I agree with you that Access has one of the most powerful reporting tools (not always recognized even by experts). If you've already connected at least 1 table, you've done a great step forward and solved the first big issue of your project, so, congrats! I've recently read (I guess it was in Fortune magazine or so) that Senior management must have an IT assistant, or get the required knowledge himself. I believe I can help you in both senses. Now finishing, let me tell you that I love planes! :) Feel free to ask me any questions before contracting, chatting here could be a good start. Hoping on working together soon, Best regards, Esteban Salpeter Buenos Aires, Argentina

Hi! I am Branislav, MS Access developer for past 26 years and as a freelancer for past 20 years. I was MS Access MVP twice, in 2008 and 2009. That is in short, everything else is on my profile page. Now, linking to the Firebird database is just like linking with any other database that uses ODBC. However, I will be honest about this, I never worked with Firebird database before, but I assume it is a complete database and you need just forms and reports in MS Access? In such a case, I can help you a lot about creating required objects in MS Access. If you like, we can go through the details in the chat? Regards, Branislav Mihaljev

It is possible to approach the project with two basic tools: Linking Access with Firebird, and from there generating reports and other queries with forms, or developing an application in Delphi, for example, which could then facilitate many other options in the future. In any case, it is one of those projects in which a very fluid communication with the users of the information is required, and a lot of flexibility on the part of the consultant to dedicate time that can not always be charged, to analyze and interpret the requirements, to study the queries to make Firebird, and redo the reports several times to find the presentation that best suits the user. In all of that, I have about 30 years of experience. I just need your patience with my poor understanding of the language.
