Encore Talent Solutions is currently seeking a Microsoft Access/VBA Database Developer for a full-time remote position based out of Cincinnati, OH. This is a serious, enterprise-level Access development role focused on maintaining and modernizing complex legacy databases used in banking, lending, and regulatory reporting.

What the role entails: Designing and maintaining split front-end/back-end Access databases, optimizing VBA code, forms, queries, and reports, and reverse engineering large legacy applications to document business logic and data flows. You'll also integrate Access with DB2, SQL Server, and Snowflake, support audit and reconciliation processes, and work with data engineering teams to migrate Access solutions to more modern platforms.

About Encore Talent Solutions: Encore Talent Solutions is a staffing and recruiting firm that places technology professionals in contract and full-time roles across a variety of industries. This position appears to support a financial services environment where Access applications are deeply embedded in risk and regulatory workflows.

Rick's take: This is the real deal. If you've ever wanted proof that companies still rely heavily on Microsoft Access, here it is. They are specifically looking for someone with at least five years of Access development experience, including VBA, Windows API calls, 64-bit conversion, and integration with enterprise databases. This is not "can you build a simple contact list" territory. This is advanced Access work in a highly regulated environment. If you've completed my Access Expert and Developer series and you're comfortable with SQL Server and ODBC, this is exactly the kind of job your skills were designed for. Bonus points if you enjoy untangling ancient VBA code that was probably written during the Dominion War.
