[AccessD] ADPs in the future

Karen,

What was it they wanted to do in Access that they couldn't find anyone to
do?

I am working for the CDC at this time.  They could not find an Access
person in Pittsburgh to do what they needed. ?  They want to take this
to .net, so I am studying asp.net and vb.net as I develop and fix this
in Access.

All I know is that the State of California and the Federal government
are still using Access desktop databases for stuff the programmers don't
have time to create and small business still has the need for custom
database apps that don't require SQL Server. ;-/

Dan,

Unless the next version of Access is a completely .NET centric product,
Windows forms on top, VB.NET or C# underneath, and is fully web enabled
(in other words the complete rewrite Mary Chipman said they weren't
going to do), it will have nothing of interest in it for me.

A simple test: if the next version of Access doesn't natively support
Microsoft's flagship database, SQL Server 2005, it has been abandoned.

I would like to hear more responses regarding the current prospects of
Access consulting. Nearly everyone I know locally is either having a
tough time getting Access work, or is moving away from Access towards
more profitable work. A consensus from this group that there is a
burgeoning Access job market in the near future would do more than
anything else to dispel my pessimism.

And yes, the bright side of the story is that the fundamentals we learn
here are applicable to any new data environment we may encounter.

-Ken

Ken,

Let's not sink the ship just yet.  A new version of Access (12) will
soon begin to be discussed.  Let's see what it is first.

OTOH, the skills that I know I've developed will let learn whatever I
need to learn to make my future work!
