[AccessD] OT StarOffice

William,

<<...btw, what mailer are you using ...your header is coming all the way
<<through in OE6 and the To: defaults to your address rather than accessd :(

If you look below, you will see that it says that it did default to accessd. It
must be on your end, except that you replied to it and it said "T0:
accessd at databaseadvisors.com"

...lol ...knew that would be your response :) ...but I do far to much db
integration with other MSOffice apps to ever try marrying Access with
StarOffice apps ...no matter how good StarOffice or OpenOffice gets, until
it makes such integration as developer/user friendly as MSOffice does, the
economics are going to have to be much, much better than that to lure me
...there is no question that $600+ for MSOffice is high but neither is there
any question that at my hourly development rate, a fully integrated, user
friendly application will cost far less in MSOffice than the same product
done in Star/OpenOffice, even using MSAccess.

...much as I'd like to see a viable competitor to MS Office drive the prices
down, I just don't see it in the current Star/OpenOffice products ...the
fact that its source code is open is by far its most attractive feature
...but until that means something in terms of real desktop productivity, it
will not become a viable business product ...imnsho of course :)

...btw, what mailer are you using ...your header is coming all the way
through in OE6 and the To: defaults to your address rather than accessd :(
