You mean us old dogs who have refused to learn new tricks may have
procrastinated long enough so that our Access apps can be web enabled
without having to learn .Net or any of that other stuff?

I was looking at the Access 2010 Developer Kitchen event that Rocky
forwarded:

In the comments, this exchange jumped out:

Sounds like they have something to disclose!

As you know, Microsoft is taking Office to the web with their Office Live
project:
http://www.officelive.com/en-us/

Right now, Word, Excel and PowerPoint are supported. The interfaces are in
Silverlight, I believe.

So, does anybody have any dirt to dish? Let's gossip!

PS - If they really deliver a true client-server web app running full Access
forms and reports with events and VBA underneath, I'll kiss Ballmer's bare
butt! If it's standards-based HTML/CSS/Javascript -- both cheeks!
