Accounting Office Enterprise Edition

Technical Outline

Accounting Office provides you with a wholly integrated Accounting, Order Processing and Stock Control system running under Windows in a Client Server environment.

It is a fully 32-bit application and will run with Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Written in Microsoft Visual Basic, it allows easy maintenance and fast development of the code as new features and enhancements are required.

It is an ActiveX .Exe, supporting the COM object model and a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications host application. This allows users to customize the software using Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications®, the standard language used in Microsoft's Office suite of products.

Accounting Office's data access engine is written using SQL using the ODBC standard.

The code uses record locking and switchable isolation levels to provide fast and secure multi-user access. The client server architecture allows the user interface to run under Windows on the desktop, while the database server may be any ODBC data source.

This architecture provides complete scalability from a stand alone machine to a mainframe based server running hundreds of users coupled with full Multi Tasking and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

Accounting Office uses industry standard databases. This means that the data is secure and protected. The two forms of protection used are Referential Integrity and Transaction Processing.
