[AccessD] FMS gone nuts?

Just to clarify, I don't dislike FMS. I, in fact, own their Access developer
suite. I rarely use a lot of it but like Jim I like the Access Components. I
just have replaced them with native Access code when I have the time to do
so. I also like the RTF control capabilities. I also use the analytical
packages when I need to. Their products save time and that is what justifies
their existence. When I'm in a crunch I will buy something that saves time
me rather than develop it myself - time is money and time is my life! I have
rarely encountered an bug/crash issue with their products. Problem with me
is the upgrade cost. I will not upgrade to have a copy that will work with
every single version of Access. So when A97 is no longer my major dev.
platform I will not be using FMS tools (unless they give me a sweeeet deal).

I get their flyers and noticed this new startup tool and kind of chuckled
that they must monitor this forum because we do have the topic show up every
now and then. But like Gustav mentioned, it is a problem which is easily
solved. I just think there are people managing Access apps & DBs that don't
code and can't follow that logic so they will buy this product. Fine with
me.

I appreciate that other people here roll their own. Remember, we have in the
mist of this list some very talented people! That's why it is a great list
talented people that aren't too brash with people that need help. Some lists
I am on are not so nice to people that need help - in fact the responses can
be downright rude and nasty. Even when people don't agree on a subject here
they stay civil about it. For instance Ken and Drew were passionately
debating some issue awhile ago and even after numerous attempts at trying to
convince each other that their opinion was the correct opinion neither one
of them started flaming the other - that's very cool.
