Companies today are faced with an increasing battle to secure their information, whether its accessible via the internet or from users on their networks.
IT Mangers are also faced with problems trying to find staff capable to organising data in a way which is both powerful and easy to implement. Recruiting staff to create database systems is also particularly difficult. However, this isn't a new problem.
Therefore companies have lots of old MS Access database which they want to use today and staff with limited MS Access skills. Providing security for these database can be costly, both in time and expertise.
MDBSecure 2009 - released by Mindwarp Consultancy Ltd, has been created for this purpose.
It takes minutes to add security to MS Access database and no expertise is required.

If you are looking for a free, but still very capable accounting sofware package, look no further than Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2008. In recent years Microsoft has been releasing Express versions of it's leading software titles and now it's the turn of Microsoft Accounting.
Even though it's free, Accounting Express is still stuffed with features and is ideal for a home-based business or a small business with 1 or 2 employees. The software includes integration with a number of online financial institutions as well as eBay and is ideally suited to an e-commerce business. Of course, the essential features of invoicing, estimates and payment tracking are included as well as handy cashflow management features.
As you'd expect with software from the biggest PC software developer, if your needs outgrow the Express version, you can upgrade seamlessly to the full version of Microsoft Accounting. To get you started with the Express version, you can import data from QuickBooks and even Microsoft's own Money package.
Microsoft doesn't have a reputation for producing small packages however: be prepared to download over 320Mb to get Accounting Express. And, of course, Microsoft want you to purchase some software - to use Microsoft Accounting Express, you need to have purchased the 2007 versions of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel as well as Business Contact Manager.

A new invoice software has been released that handles multiple companies in a single invoice package. SliQTools already have an easy to use invoice software called SliQ Invoicing and Quoting. Until now SliQ handled invoicing for a single company. Now a new package called SliQ Invoicing and Quoting MC is available.
SliQ MC includes all the features of the original version - allowing you to produce professional invoices and quotes in seconds but lets you switch from one company to another with a single mouse-click.
