[AccessD] Access app for 24/7 usage?

IMO, for rock-solid reliability you should choose VB and install the EXE as
a Windows service. Presumably the data you're grabbing is emitted on a
serial port or somesuch and is basically a text file that you parse. If so,
that's not difficult code to write. As for creating a service, you can find
material on that at the Visual Studio Magazine site.

Subject: [AccessD] Access app for 24/7 usage?


Hi All,

I am going to be creating an application that parses the output from our
telephone system and log it into an Access database. This application will
be running on a server so that it can be up 24/7. What I was wonder is if an
Access FE app will be OK running 24/7? Would I be better off creating the FE
in VB instead? I think that it would be easier to get the data into the
database if I use Access as the FE but I am more concerned with reliability.

Many thanks,

Joe R.
