[AccessD] Going to vb.net?

BL,

I have definitely been spoiled by Access (and Paradox for Windows and
Paradox for DOS and dBASE II & III years ago) in that they're all
database products. When I began to get into my one ASP.NET application
using VB.NET, I was grateful that I'd taken the trouble to write at
least one unbound form app in Access. That helped me over the hump of,
"Well, why the heck doesn't it update the data automatically?" I was
bemused by the bucket brigade of the SQLConnection string feeds the
SQLConnection so that you can open a SQLAdapter or SQLReader with a
SQLCommand and then Fill a DataSet which has DataRows that you can
actually work with. Going back upstream lets you work with even more
buckets. Sheesh!
