MS Access - Membership Database 15 yrs 5.0 2008 I was responsible for designing, creating and teaching users a multi user Access database system that tracks memberships for a  discount dental and eye care company.  The database performs many functions such as generating id cards for members that have different options for both dental and eye care under the companies they work for.  There are a number of reports for brokers, individuals, providers and also tracks all sales calls to potential clients.  I created the system in 2004 and it is the main system for the company to this day.   My reponsibilities including learning how the company functions on a day to day basis, meeting with each individual that uses the system, designing and implementing the system as well as data migration from old system(s).  

This is a private system that contains highly personal information, however, I would be more than happy to provide an image with test information as an example as to the functionality of the system.  I would also be happy to provide a reference to individuals who currently use the system.
