Well my friends.... I noticed Ms is using a modified Jet more and more for OS management. I'm guessing here but I think to know why MS would stop with Jet. Because they are not gooing to put the database in to a filesystem, but the filesystem in a database! And thats gonna be jet. Jet has proven to be so fast and performing, that the only option they have to resolve the slowness of NTFS. Think about it! Is this not more logical? How do you manage a giant list of files in a fast way? -Exchange server is proven for years now that Jet can be very fast and good. -DHCP Server -DNS server (not sure) -WINS server -Briefcase All using Jet.

I'll be using a Linux housed, KDE based/mySQL BE to do this work as soon as there is an equivalent IDE to Access. I've tried Eclipse and Eiffel but dang it I just cant get the hang of theese new fangled lenguages! Looking at mono - not sure if its the best or worst of both worlds. Even got desparate enough to try running access inside wine (hehehehe dribble dribble froth froth) What!? The old saw is cutting wood just fine? Sharpen it now and then, and it'll be good for years, you say? <snip> Which brings us back to a fundamental choice: keep trudging on the Microsoft treadmill, or get off. Both options have their plusses and drawbacks. But at least Open Source will never force you to abandon software you like. -Ken _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
