I have a passion for Microsoft Access, SQL Server and Office 365 in developing database application and mentoring developers,having also developed commercial products and written books.
My Microsoft Most Valuable Professional profile can be viewed at https://mvp.microsoft.com/en-us/mvp/Andrew%20Couch-38506. Andrew Couch has been working with Microsoft Access since 1992 as a developer, trainer and consultant. He is a joint founder of the UK Access User Group which has been running for over 13 years and has been a Microsoft Access MVP for the past 7 years. Andrew has been involved with Access web app’s from an early point in time and has been working with members of the Microsoft team to communicate information on exploiting the power of this new technology. Publications with Microsoft Press include Microsoft Access 2013 Plain & Simple and Microsoft Access 2010 VBA Programming INSIDE OUT and he is a co-author on Microsoft Office Professional 2013 Step by Step. In addition to consulting and regularly speaking at community events, Andrew has developed the Migration Upsizing SQL Tool (MUST) that allows users to easily convert Access Databases to SQL Server by using an Access-based application. Due to the success of MUST, which is used by over 200 companies, SQL Translation capabilities and WebForm code generators for .NET were added to the product range. He also provides free technical articles for Access at www.upsizing.co.uk/TechLibrary.aspx.
Work Terms
I prefer payment in stages as work is completed and require payment within 30 days of completing work. I have worked with a number of US companies and don't have a problem with the time zone differences with the UK.
I favour a flexible approach to work, as often my clients are unsure of exactly how best to implement a specific technical solution, although I am happy to also work with well defined and specified projects.
