Assuming the <grin> is directed my way: I have been working with .NET as well as Java. .Net is Microsoft's attempt to make something similar to Java with the same kind of OO capabilities, garbage collection, security and error handling. The .NET languages strongly resemble Java in many respects. I'm not worried about understanding object oriented principles and there are many programmers who do. I do have reservations about trying to fit a square peg like Access into some round holes. You can force it but it isn't a great fit. Access only has quasi OO capabilities and the average college graduate around here who learns Java and will find frustration, as do I, with the limitations of Access. I have ofen had the need to use Access to do things it wasn't intended to do because it was the only tool permitted where I worked to meet tasks beyond the ususal scope of Access. I have reservations about the abilities of average Access developers or full blown OO developers to work in this no man's land somewhere between the two. It can be done, but why bother.
