[AccessD] Facelift for my App

It has been my observation that if you ask a man what color something green
is, they'll say "Green." If you ask a woman the same question, she'll say,
"Teal, avocado, lime, forest, hunter, kelly, aqua ..... Etc."

Another point is that, in reality, it's the women in the office who will be
using your database the most -- they are probably the ones who do the data
entry and produce the reports. Keep 'em happy!

Exactly! Don't know why it is this way. Strange.

Hi Gustav,

I really like your points here.

I've had the same experience with male/female differences of opinion on the
UI.  I think that men typically don't care much about the UI - its look or
efficiency - unless something is really wrong.  Women will notice either
way.  I've also learned to ask my female customers for UI opinions because
the guys all just say, "It's fine."

I just looked at Segoe UI - it's pretty attractive.  Rounder than Tahoma,
but it does take up more space.

Dan
