(ISF) Re: Access Database Services Suggestions

>>;We are having a very hard time with one of our major Access
databases. After too many folks have had their hands on it, somewhere
something got tweaked and now it's become more trouble than it's
worth. I'm wondering if anyone has any leads on reasonably priced paid
services to help fix our current database and potentially help us
build one more suited to our current needs.>>

Dear Alyssa,

Do you need to find a local database maven, or can you work with a
consultant in another state?

If the latter, then it's worth considering two very good firms here in
the Boston area that specialize in the database needs of nonprofit
organizations:

Databases Designs Associates
<http://www.dbdes.com>
Steve Backman, sbackmandbdes.com

The Data Collaborative
<http://www.datacollaborative.com>
Eric Segal, ericdatacollaborative.com

Both Eric and Steve will cheerfully tell you if they think the other
guy is a better match for your needs.

Full disclosure of financial relationship: Neither of these
organizations pay me to say nice things about them.

Best regards from Deborah
