  Watch it, you may be in violation of your license agreement.  Recently a
big brew ha ha had erupted over the fact that VFP developers were starting
to run VFP apps under Linux.  Microsoft quickly squashed it.  Went as far as
to get a speaker to cancel their talk.

  I think if you read your agreement, you'll find that your only allowed to
run Access on Windows OS's.

and by golly gosh. I'll be using a Linux housed, KDE based/mySQL BE to do
this work as soon as there is an equivalent IDE to Access.
I've tried Eclipse and Eiffel but dang it I just cant get the hang of
theese new fangled lenguages!  Looking at mono - not sure if its the best
or worst of both worlds.  Even got desparate enough to try running access
inside wine (hehehehe dribble dribble froth froth)




What!? The old saw is cutting wood just fine? Sharpen it now and then, and
it'll be good for years, you say?

Which brings us back to a fundamental choice: keep trudging on the
Microsoft
treadmill, or get off. Both options have their plusses and drawbacks.

But at least Open Source will never force you to abandon software you like.
