EquineMax is based on the Microsoft Office 2007 technologies. By EquineMax using current technology, you can be assured of maximum compatibility with your Microsoft XP or Vista computer. Installing the EquineMax software by download or CD is all you need to run EquineMax - there is no requirement to have any other software on your computer.

Are you familiar with Microsoft Access and want to develop your own reports, queries or make changes to custom reports? If so, the Microsoft Access Companion is for you. It's a free add-on program available in the EquineMax software.

Looking for the Report Wizard option in EquineMax to make your own reports? Though it's accessible by clicking the Access Companion button in EquineMax ES, you do not need Microsoft Access on your computer to work with it - it works the same as it always has.

The Microsoft Access Companion is provided as a courtesy to horse owners who want to work more in-depth with EquineMax through Microsoft Access. Our support of the Companion is limited to EquineMax-specific questions. Access-specific questions are better helped through the following resources or by seeking the assistance of a skilled Access programmer.
