What Total Visual Agent Can Do:
Total Visual Agent lets you define and schedule these tasks:
- Database repair and compact
- Database copy and zip backups
- Data extraction while users are in the database
- Launch Access and run a macro which can run your code
- Collect database statistics like record counts to monitor usage
- Run any command line
Define Your Own Schedules:
Total Visual Agent lets you schedule and automatically perform these tasks multiple times per hour, once per hour, daily, weekly, monthly, or at a specific time in the future. Perform your tasks in the middle of the night! You can even back up data while users are in the database (ideal for 24/7 environments) or execute your own custom code such as printing reports or data uploads and downloads.
Manage an Unlimited Number of Databases:
Total Visual Agent can manage an unlimited number of Microsoft Access/Jet Engine databases across your network. Simply launch it from any PC that can see the databases. When the time arrives, it performs its tasks, then goes back to "sleep" to await the next event.
Total Visual Agent supports secured databases and lets you assign the security workgroups, user name, and passwords necessary to perform the tasks you need.
Manage individual databases or specify a directory and manage all the databases within it and its subdirectories automatically. You can also define a list of tasks in a Task Group and assign databases or directories to it.
A Professional Solution:
Total Visual Agent offers a professional solution to ensure your Access/Jet databases perform optimally and are administered properly.
A complete audit trail is maintained for every task performed, and if an error occurs, an email is automatically sent to alert the system administrator. System administrators will also appreciate the ability to specify a cut-off time for tasks be completed. This ensures that as your databases grow and your tasks require more time to complete, Total Visual Agent never interferes with your business needs and alerts you if it runs out of time to finish.

Total Visual Agent is licensed on a per installation basis. Each installation can manage multiple databases across the entire network (assuming the machine has rights to view the other network devices).
A runtime version of Total Visual Agent is not available since it cannot be bundled within an Access or VB application (like a control). Total Visual Agent is a system administrative tool and usually runs on a machine separate from the deployed applications. Since it can manage databases across the entire network, its usefulness goes well beyond your application.
Many developers and consultants, who need to bundle scheduled database maintenance with their applications, purchase multi-license copies of Total Visual Agent and resell it to their clients. Not only can you resell Total Visual Agent at full price, you can also charge consulting fees for installing and setting it up to manage not only your applications, but all their Access/Jet databases and for scheduling other tasks.
