[AccessD] MS InfoPath and OneNote

Am I the only one who thinks Access is history?  Heaven knows what they
intend to use to *analyze* that data they collect with InfoPath.  I
certainly won't volunteer to do it because I had too much experience
trying to do something similar with data collected (similarly except for
the XML) in FileMaker!  Yuck!!  Relational design is apparently too hard
for people to learn so we're going to use XML instead.
