[AccessD] Access/SQL

...its not a matter of "better" ...it's a matter of resources ...when I 
started with dot net my natural path was to learn vb.net ...but what I found 
is that there are far more examples written in c# available on the net than 
vb.net ...and once I started looking at those examples, including 
translations done by the web based code converters, it turned out that the 
syntax wasn't all that different ...so I started playing with c# and its now 
my language of choice but by no means expertise.

...there is no natural upgrade path from a vb app to a vb.net app, it's a 
whole new paradigm, vb in name only ...thus a lot of vb programmers and apps 
never made the transition ...otoh, C# has a lot in common with past C and 
Java languages and a lot of them did make the transition to C# and dot net 
...and they brought their tools and samples along.
