[AccessD] Database Comparison Tool

Actually, that's one of my gripes.  What they do isn't complex enough to justify the cost of the tools, although they add a lot of garnish to make it look like it is.  Yes, with a few hours of work you could have written it and it would work the way you need it to, not in the attempted swiss army knife fashion they designed.

Charlotte,

I'm just arguing 'cause I like it, but FMS products are OK with me.  For example, could I have written Analyzer with a few hours of work - assuming I even knew how?  

Of course, buying a suite from FMS may not be cost-effective.

My 2¢,
Dan Waters

No, I was using the version for Access XP.  It drove me nuts, frequently blew up, and would sometimes simply refuse to recognize the requests that it had just handled.  I have a bias against FMS software, which I think is wildly overpriced anyhow, but this did nothing to change my opinion.

worked just as promised ...are you using one of the non-Access versions?
