City Hall exists solely to serve the needs of the city’s residents. Hundreds of calls can flood in every week. I wrote a multi-user Access® application that a half-dozen operators use to enter details of every constituent call. This program also automatically e-mails to department heads, and creates crosstab reports that give a new edge to productivity.

Another project tracks over twenty thousand dogs and their owners, printing licenses and calculating revenues generated from license renewals. Finally, the DND application uses OLE to combine Access® with Project® 98 such that project managers can view Gantt charts, based on the data stored in Access®. Access®-style reports are created, while project management graphics provide DND with the large plotter-generated charts that look good in presentations.
