I'll take this further off topic. Access is tough to beat but not
because some people at MS can't improve it much (I saw the smiley). I
don't doubt that there are people at Microsoft who can make an
application's code nearly flawless. It's just that they won't let
those people near the software :-). You'd almost think the future
direction of Access was the same way. MS was able to integrate the
internet into the OS. They weren't as successful at integrating the
internet into Access - yet. It would indeed take a lot of
sophistication to replace Access. I hope that MS will get internet
integration with Access right and not have to look over their shoulder
for newcomers. I think Access as a RAD tool for internet development
would be unbeatable. Once the application is sketched out using Access
a decision can be made whether or not to flesh it out using .NET
(ignoring things like optimization of SQL Server for now), hopefully
after applying new painless conversion tools. I want to be able to
create an internet/intranet application almost as easily as I can
create an mdb. Is that asking too much?
