Hehehe.

I think of it like a car. In the early days only enthusiasts had them and the majority of folks worked on them in their own sheds - they knew the parts intimately because of this. These days folks like owning a car, but many of them wouldn't know the first thing about repairing one (or want to for that matter) - I know folks who wouldn't even know where to top up the oil if they needed too - the mechanics are a mystery to them. They would much rather just drive it and let the service dept take care of any issues. Computers are rapidly approaching this sort of point for most people. Most folks don't care or want to know about the back end magic. Also Outlook also integrates with the other MS Office products, particularly One Note, which we use extensively - so that is a feature worth having / paying for - at least for us. Cheers Darryl. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Friday, 24 October 2014 7:58 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Outlook 2003 But you can run your own personal cloud on your own server(s).

You don't get something for nothing; Google routinely goes through e-mails and then targets ads based on that. Unless I was in complete control (like renting a server), I'd put zero information in the cloud.

That's not the best solution for me. All my emails are available to me on my laptop wherever I am. -- Stuart On 22 Oct 2014 at 16:58, Arthur Fuller wrote: > With all the > data trapped in Outlook on my desktop, I'd be powerless.
