I'm ridin' it down to the last mdb. I quit working this year. So far about 50% successful. They keep calling me wanting me to do stuff. Going off to Singapore on Saturday for a week of work. But I'm not complaining. I can always say no. I used to be up to my ears in Access work. Small ad I the paper and I was turning people away. But that was 10-15 years ago. The amount of work began slowly decreasing and I saw where it was going - to the web. If I didn't want to learn ASP, PHP, C++ and the whole alphabet soup, I would be left behind. Well, timing is everything. I turned 65 last December and, having successfully had my last commercial product acquired (an Access app), I could fade slowly into the sunset and not worry about having to reinvent myself as a web programmer. For those in their 40s and 50s, though, who have invested a lot in Access, it's a problem. I sympathize.

I am more than glad to hear some of you are doing well with your projects. ACCESS does its stuff really quite well. But.................. there is so much to look at now as we age .The old farts have all become dinosaurs. Not being negative but with the new Apps etc. I think we are falling behind. I now go out and search out the rocks in my backyard and build sculptures with them. The dog and I laugh and lie down on the Mexican blanket and watch the day go by. All the best to you folks that are prospering. Ooooops just found a snail under a rock. Not giving up but I think it is time...............................
