Available for free download from http://www.dqwest.com/downloads.htm, the increasingly popular MDB Artisan database analysis and documentation software now comes packaged and ready for deployment with the latest version of Microsofts premiere desktop database.

Clearly, MDB Artisan offers MS Access users an additional edge when building applications. While having the new object dependency feature is clearly a boon to some users, requiring Track Name AutoCorrect to be turned on" in MS Access is more resource intensive than having it turned off. MDB Artisan functions independently of this Access setting, which DataQwest sees as a comparative advantage.

It comes packed with a suite of utilities that let you view database Properties, link Tables, view Relationships, lookup text in Query SQL statements and view operating & Windows system information. Other features are bundled with MDB Artisan that will surely give MS Access users a less than easily attainable edge" in their tasks.

Finally, MDB Artisan allows quick-click" scripting of any table selected to a new query (Select, Update, Append or Delete) window.

MDB Artisan is priced at $79.95 (USD) per seat. Trial versions will run without limitations for a full thirty (30) days. All purchases come with FREE technical support and upgrades based on availability.
