The members section allows you to edit and manage your registration details. The information that you can edit here includes your email address, receive updates (list of newly submitted sites) via email option, and the ability to change your password. The two restrictions here are that you cannot enter an email address that is already being used by another member, and you cannot change your username.

Furthermore, you have access to member only tools, which include:

1. view and manage your personal list of resources that you create from our directory listings.
2. view the last 25 submitted websites.
3. view the last 25 submitted sample databases/downloads.
4. view the last 25 submitted articles.
5. view the web sites with the most/least hits.
6. view the sample databases with the most/least downloads.
7. view the articles with the most/least hits.

The advanced search allows you to search either the entire contents of the directory, or specific categories and sub categories, based on either keywords or phrases with the option of exact or similar matches. The exact match option is limited to the description section of each resource, while the similar option searches for matches within the entire contents of each resource, such as the heading, description and pricing sections. Note: common keywords are not required when searching, such as "A, is, I".

The simple search can be found on each page in the top left corner. This allows for searching of the whole directory based on either key words or phrases if between "double quotes" .

Both searches return a maximum of five results per page with the information presented in a tabular format. This information includes the name, description and any associated costs with each resource. The results are ordered in regards to the relevance of each keywords/phrase used in the search.

There are three types of submissions that are available, which are described below:

1. The Submit Website Link form allows you to submit website details (Title, URL, and Description) directly into our directory. This is a simple process, which can be completed by both members and non-members. The rules for submitting a site are simple. Firstly, keep the focus on Microsoft Access related sites and resources. Secondly, do not enter a site more than once. All sites that are submitted may not be accepted, which is subject to the scope and content of the site.


2. The Submit Sample Database/Download form allows you to submit the details (Title, Download URL, and Description) of sample databases and downloads directly into our directory. This is a simple process, which can be completed by both members and non-members.


3. The Submit an Article form allows you to submit the details (Title, Article URL, and Hosting Website) of Microsoft Access/Database related articles directly into our directory. This is a simple process, which can be completed by both members and non-members.

All submissions, once accepted, will feature in our members eLetter (a good reason to become a member).

The send to a friend form allows you to send an email message to a friend informing them about this site. All email addresses that you use when sending messages to friends are not recorded by this site for any purpose.

The glossary section allows you to search for definitions via the alphabet or by using keywords. Only registered members can submit definitions to the content of the glossary.
