Through server-side customization, database developers can implement enterprise applications with any capabilities, including any method of saving data, server-side event handling, extending context menus, translating user interface elements and data.
Using the add-in, database developers get a ready-made, customizable client with the full set of Microsoft Excel features.
Companies can save significant amounts on developing client-side and get additional benefits by increasing employee productivity.
You can use the SaveToDB add-in for free as a reporting tool, without the ability to save data to databases.
