<DIV><SPAN class=765145013-17032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Let's
face it. Access is so good that we all use it, and most of us are seasoned
developers who have looked at lots of potential replacements and found
them wanting. For my money, the only realistic Access replacement would
have to offer significant benefits beyond everything Access can do; else why
switch? Now, as JC is discovering, there are some _way_ kewl reasons to choose
VB.Net. The dev-time is still longer but in exchange you get a lot of new
functionality. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=765145013-17032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>What I
would like to find is an Access replacement that runs on Linux! Does everything
Access does, and maybe more (Linux-specific things). Otherwise for RAD I'm
sticking to Access, and for SBSRAD (slower but still RAD) it's
.net.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
