Looking for tool to Compare two different mdb that will include all objects not just tables & queries
Can anyone recommend a freeware or shareware tool that will compare all objects and any differences between to Access databases. The examples I have found on the web will compare the Tables, queries, but not the forms and code.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Note I would love to have FMS tools, but it is a no go for my company.
Thanks,
Karen

this is not a tool that will be continued to use - since my company is weening off MS Access for more web based tools.

I agree 100%, but when you work for a big corp (aerospace) not mentioning names it is sometimes very complicated to get the software you need, ie. RED TAPE.
Thanks for you input.

Thanks for you input.

Hi Jeff: Thanks for the kind words.
Karen:
Sorry for the challenges you're facing.
We've probably sold our products to all the aerospace companies, or the software resellers they go through, so there may be copies already floating around in your organization.
As for aerospace and my personal self-interest, I sincerely hope y'all use the best tools for the job before delivering your products :)

Luke,
Thanks, ...the other thing I like to make clear to members is that with utilities like yours, (and the others I posted), they get "Support".
With solutions here, (although we try to follow up), they are technically on their own.
In other words, I like to always point out when it is better to "buy" rather than "build"...
;-)

Thanks Jeff!
I'm always surprised how some organizations can't see value in a product that we offer for a few hundred bucks that cost us $100+K to build. Our fault for not making the perceived value more obvious.
Testimonials from experts like you certainly help establish the credibility of the 3rd party community who are delivering professional solutions. Much appreciated!

Luke,
Yes, I think it bears discussing, (as also, Karen is a long time member here and asks some interesting questions...)
Luke, yes, as you know EE does not really like "Advertising" in the threads.
So, many experts have taken to stating:
"I am not affiliated in any way to..."
As I stated:
"anything can be thought of as being "expensive"
and:
"What is the cost of you NOT having this ability?"
Your products may seem to be out of reach for many new Access developers.
But they have to consider the real cost.
Sure, SendObject will send an email...
But it cant:
Use HTML
Attach multiple files.
Schedule
Bypass the Security pop-up
...etc
I look at it this way.
As a volunteer here, I will spend no more than 1 hour max, on a question
I value my high end development work at ($100 USD/hr)
So if I spent 5 hours of development time ($500 USD, ...the same cost of TAEM), would I really be able to create a comparable utility!?
:-O
I think not...
(And I'm being honest here, not patronizing,...)
So even if you take my (some would say, low) 100/hr rate, ...$500 is "Cheap" for a product like TAEM.
As you know, some companies just seem to set some arbitrary number for "all" software.
Not saying that is the case here, ...again, I just think is is a good discussion...
;-)
