C# MS Access (Reporting Application)
My company develops customized software for clients. The project being put forward here, is for development of a small reporting system for an existing client. The client has requested the development of a small reporting application, to be written in C#. As C# is not one of my companies core competences we wish to outsource the development of the application.
We are finalizing the design of the database (MS Access), which the reporting system will link to. We are seeking a bid from an organisation (or coder) that is willing to work to a tight timeframe (Project delivery being no later than 9am Jan 15 2004 / Sydney time) and with us, to finalize the details of the application
