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>

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.

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.
