Solving your database problems


Welcome to the home page of Alvechurch Data. We are based near Birmingham in the English midlands and specialise in small business databases. Let us help you to use Microsoft FoxPro or Access to run your business more efficiently.

Every organisation uses databases. Some systems are critical to everyday operations, others are small but useful tools that take the drudgery out of routine tasks. They might not be very exciting but databases are important and we have fifteen years' experience building systems that make your work easier.

Our experience covers all versions of Microsoft FoxPro and Access databases from the early DOS versions of FoxBase to today's object-oriented programs in Microsoft Visual FoxPro. We do all of our work here in Birmingham and will always be on hand to give you the flexible local support that you need.

Follow these links or phone us on 0121 445 1300 for help with database development, with training for users or developers or with the long-term support of your databases.

If you are a database developer using FoxPro, VFP or Access then you might find our pages of hints and tips useful.
