AccessInsighter (ASI) · Microsoft Access application intelligence
See what AccessInsighter (ASI) reveals inside an Access application.
ASI transforms the structure and logic of an established Microsoft Access application into connected, navigable documentation—making its forms, queries, dependencies, and execution paths easier to explore.
A clearer route through complexity
ASI turns application evidence into practical working knowledge.
Important business logic can be distributed across forms, queries, reports, macros, and VBA. ASI brings those pieces into one navigable reference so people can orient themselves, follow relationships, and understand how the application works.
Follow the logic
Move from familiar screens to the queries, macros, procedures, and objects they depend on.
Build an evidence trail
Connect technical findings to maintenance, handover, risk review, or modernization decisions.
How AccessInsighter works
From a single database to a connected body of application intelligence.
AccessInsighter supports focused analysis, repeatable multi-database reviews, and evidence-based comparison. The results remain available as organized documentation that can be reopened when questions arise.
Scan database
Understand one application in depth.
Select an Access database and generate a connected view of its objects, relationships, procedures, and likely execution paths.
Batch scan
Document a portfolio consistently.
Process multiple databases through the same structured workflow so teams can establish a repeatable documentation baseline.
Compare databases
See what changed between versions.
Compare two saved scans to identify structural differences and focus review on the parts of the application that changed.
Saved results
Return to the evidence without rescanning.
Reopen saved scans and comparisons, review earlier findings, and continue an investigation from the documentation already created.

Continue the analysis without carrying the working database.
A developer can document an authorized client database in its own environment, then use the generated results back at the office for deeper review and investigation. The portable output preserves the application evidence needed for analysis while the working database remains with the client.
AccessInsighter documentation should be handled as client material and moved only with the client’s authorization and appropriate safeguards.
