[AccessD] Freelancing

Hey Drew
That is the problem. Access is vibrant (no matter what the IT people say).
If a client wants me to turn on the coffee maker at a certain time while
he/she is working in the program it can be done.

That is one of the severe limitations of a truly access based product, you
are limited on the platform it can be run from....

It's Access -- the work for Access developers is disappearing. :( Consider
SQL Server. Don't forget apps for smartphones -- big business right now. I'm
not sure anyone's getting rich, but it's something to fill in empty hours!
