ADO data engine with Jet 4 or SQL OLEDB provider for data access.
ANSI compliant SQL
codes throughout the program to access and update data.
This program does not use any
bound controls for most of the operations thus providing complete
control of data access.
Transactions based coding
assures that the integrity of the data, especially in a multi-user
situation.
Instant posting assures that balance sheet and other
reports convey real-time data.
Transactions based data updates

Payroll
uses transactions when updating or deleting records from multiple related
tables. If any one of the changes fail due to any reason, the entire
set of changes is cancelled. This implementation
Assures that the
relational data integrity is maintained always.
Improves the speed and
performance of these operations

locking time and improves network performance in multi-user
installations
