>>...and I can't stand the VB bigots who have never developed an Access application and think that it's just a glorified spreadsheet for making mini applications. Oh, yeah! Of course, I also get annoyed with the Access people who can't understand why everything has to be so COMPLICATED in .Net. <VBG> Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: Brett Barabash [mailto:BBarabash at tappeconstruction.com] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 8:09 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT: What are you lot doing now and then? 1. VB.NET and VB6 development, SQL Server admin and development 2. Our environment outgrew Access as a database, and we are moving towards system designs where the data and business rules are maintained in separate tiers. 3. I am employeed full-time at a rapidly growing construction company (400+ employees) as the lead applications developer. Literally watch this company double in size every 4 years. 4. Have a MS certification in SQL Server 6.5. P.S. I would imagine that many people would be shocked to see that there are VB developers on this list. I started my career many years ago as an Access 2.0 developer, and owe a portion of my success to this list. I'm also a member of multiple VB lists (including dba-VB), but still feel that this is the best source for technical info. ...and I can't stand the VB bigots who have never developed an Access application and think that it's just a glorified spreadsheet for making mini applications. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Steve Erbach Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 6:05 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] OT: What are you lot doing now and then? Dear Group, Could you indulge me in a little survey? 1) What's your main line of work these days? Access development, SQL Server administration/development, VB, ASP/ASP.NET, PHP...? 2) How does your work today differ from what you were doing a few years ago? Is it only that you're using newer versions of the same tools, or are you doing entirely different development work? 3) Are you independent or do you work for a company? If you work for a company, what's the size of the company and where do you fit in? 4) Do you have any Microsoft Certifications? If so, do you keep current with them, and/or have they made any difference in your current position? Thank you very much. I'm approaching a career crossroads with the decision to stay in b ount of .NET knowledge (the hard way -- is there any other?) but I have no Microsoft certifications.
