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. 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.
