[AccessD] Access and Data Warehouses

The real problem is that the auditors hadn't a clue as what a
datawarehouse actually is or they would not have raised the issue in the
first place.  Data warehouses are for reporting, nothing else really.
If you need to *capture* data, you do it elsewhere.  Every data
warehouse I've ever seen was built by someone who had no earthly idea of
what users actually needed to extract from it, so the reporting tools
left a great deal to be desired.  Sounds like the case here as well.

 Just an interesting article that mentions the proliferation of Access 
databases when a Data Warehouse
is slow to come online. From an Australian Government audit.
