[AccessD] Access development on the wane?

Hi William,

Could you elaborate on your experience with VS8 vs. Access as a FE
development environment?  I've been wondering for quite a while if switching
would be worthwhile, especially given that I sell the same system (with
modifications) to multiple customers.  I've been planning to wait for the
next release of Access to see where it's going, and then decide.

Thanks!
Dan

...I've moved to focus on the .net development environment and that's what I

push to clients now ...there is still plenty of Access work but I'm not 
starting anything new in it ...had not considered Access so much as 
declining as just not being the best development environment any longer 
...once you have a few controls and a source code library, .net in VS8 is 
just a lot better to work with than Access, especially A2k7.
