Hey Jim Saw this coming, but I just cannot believe it. Rather than going forward they have basically said F...Y.. developers. Boy oh boy Android (and whatever else) is looking more like the new fresh approach. MS may be the titan but as history proves giants do fall.

Microsoft just released details on Office and Access 2013: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj162978(v=office.15).aspx Couple of quotes: "A new interactive view designer makes it easy for users who have little or no programming experience to build apps. " "A new application model enables subject matter experts to quickly create and share applications that can be used to run their business. " They are focused on the end user and nothing but and everything is about the cloud and Office 365. Traditional desktop development with Access is out. Here's a list of what got pulled out: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178954%28v=office.15%29.aspx; Two biggies from that: 1. Access 2003 toolbars and command bars are no longer supported. You *must* use the ribbon. 2. ADP's are gone. And there's a bunch of other stuff, like Pivot Charts.

Geez, we go to lots of trouble to normalize our data and then Access arrives with new specialties that at least look like the destruction of normalization! Dang!
