[AccessD] Recently posted on the Professional Microsoft Access Developers' Network (PMADN) which may be of interest

For those of you looking for the next best thing, a recent posting on the
Professional Microsoft Access Developers' Network (PMADN):
 
"
No I do not know C++. One the one app I have redeveloped using Instant
Developer I only needed to use c++ sparingly and was able to muddle through
it. Almost all id done by drag and drop. As one developer has said, if you
have to work very hard at something you are trying to do you are likley
trying to do it wrong.

I am part of a small group who has switched over to Instant Developer at the
same time, over the past year or so and continue to be impressed with it.
Almost all are people switching from Alpha Five.

  I haven't checked it out yet.   A few in the thread seem to be upset with
the current subscription model that Alpha 5 has switched to, mainly
centering around the server licensing.  Apparently though, a IIS setup is in
beta.  Not sure if that would change the required licensing $ or not.
 
  But instant developer seems to be the up and coming new thing...however
looking it over briefly, their not cheap either.  Most of the apps I might
write would fall under the $199 or $299 MONTHLY subscription price.
 
  Anyway, thought it was worth mentioning...Access certainly doesn't seem to
be going anywhere at the moment.  Maybe that's a thought for Microsoft;
change the licensing model for Access, get more of a revenue stream from it,
then do what developers want rather then end users. Of course then it would
fall out of the Office camp.
