Access Accounts provide five major products:
- Dimensions (SQL/Oracle)
- Dimensions Lite (SQL)
- Horizons (LAN)
- Foundations (LAN)
- Payroll. (LAN)
There are also a number of modules or add ons which work with the above major products to give powerful additional features. These are:
These greatly enhance the flexibility of the software and its reporting and integration potential. They provide the power to develop an exact match to end-users' individual requirements using standard out-of-the-box software (eg MS Office) with no need for expensive programming.
Access Add-Ins provide bi-directional integration between MS Office products Excel, Word and MS Project and Access Accounts.
This means that the power of the MS Office - Access Accounts link is far superior to conventional (ODBC) linking methods.
When Access Add-Ins are loaded, an additional "Access Accounts" menu appears within Word, Excel or MS Project on the main Tool Bar with options that link directly to the Access Accounting data.
Access Accounting provide a series of pre-written MS Office functions which facilitate the manipulation of Access Accounts Data within Excel, Word and Project and then, if required, enable the writing back of the manipulated data to the accounts programme.
Below are some examples of ways in which Access Add-Ins for MS Office can be useful:
- Amend your nominal budgets in MS Excel and then update the amendments back to the accounting system.
- Update your stock records (descriptions, prices, minimum and maximum stock levels) in an Excel spreadsheet
- Change the name of a salesperson attached to hundreds of customer records in seconds using Excel.
- Move the costing structure from your Access Accounts project straight into MS Project
- Design powerful comparative reports within Excel giving non Access
Accounts users access to information.
There is a demonstration of Access Add-Ins which can be viewed in our Download Area.
Executive Desktop is a powerful reporting tool which sits on a blue windows desktop of workstations on your network and provides executive summaries on key company information with drill down capability.
Executive Desktop comes with a series of standard reports on across most of the Access Accounts modules (Nominal Ledger, Sales Ledger, Stock etc.) These reports can be amended, report lists restricted by user and new reports designed. The viewer of the report does not need a software seat licence for Access Accounts and training on the use of the Access Accounts system is not required.
As an example, the Sales Director can view salesforce performance, and with MS Office XP, drill down to individual salesperon, a particular customer, a particular sales order, a line item on a sales order and through to the relevant stock or project record.
The Sales Director's lap top which has Executive Desktop loaded will retain the reporting information when it is disconnected from the network at the end of the day so the Executive Desktop reports can be viewed at home.

Dimensions.net is a browser based transaction entry system which can be used with Access Dimensions and Dimensions Lite. It enables remote users to post transaction such as timesheets, sales orders, nominal ledger journals etc and set up records for new customers.
The browser transaction entry screens emulate the appearance of the main Dimensions product. Remote users only require an analogue line connection and a 56kbps modem to enter transactions.
Field sales or customers can enter orders directly onto the system. All screens and layouts can be tailored for the particular needs of clients.
