- Self supporting
- Built in user help to minimize training costs
- Automatic error correction, trapping, recovery, and logging to reduce user frustration and downtime
- Fast and robust
- Scalable from 1 to over 100 users

What about cost?
Before awarding your project to one of the lowest bidders, consider these ten crucial questions. Otherwise, that low bid could easily turn out to cost you many times more than you planned:
- Does your programmer have sufficient experience to quickly understand your business practices without spending a lot of your time?
- Are you going to have a software specification prepared for your project to eliminate unanticipated expectations?
- Will you need a user manual developed?
- Will your software be written in a way that other programmers will be able to work on it?
- Since testing your software can take as much time as initial development, who will be doing the testing?
- How many users will your software be able to support while maintaining reasonably fast response times?
- Will you need a security level subsystem with user access rights, and has your programmer ever developed a Microsoft Access application with that capability?
- How large of a library of MS Access programming code has your programmer accumulated over the years which can be used to save you valuable programming time and needless expense?
- How familiar is your programmer with the available MS Access-compatible off-the-shelf software add-in products which can be incorporated into your application to save programming and debugging time?
- Since your software is a a valuable piece of intellectual propertry, who will own your software and any copy of it?
