i have used Access since 1995. i love it so much. i can develop file-server apps. i was transferred from the IT dept to other departments where i was not allowed to develop apps.
Recently, though, i am back to IT department, and have learned how to develop client-server apps having Access as front-end and SQL Server as back-end.
Newer guys in IT dept do web-app development, using javascript and node.js and oracle APEX etc.
Also, the Informations Security office, subject their code to Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration testing using various tools. They also use Checkmarx for Code Reviews.
Now they want to use Checkmarx to review my client-server app. The front-end is in accdb format.
i am yet to make the file available to them.
Questions on my mind are as follows:
1. Can Checkmarx be used to check the vba code in the accdb file?
2. Since it is not a web app, is it necessary to do any such checks on the code?
3. If Checkmarx is not applicable, what tools can they use to check the code in my app?
Thank you in advance, as i await responses.
