[AccessD] Is anyone migrating data?

Did a project (as a sub-contractor) like that a few years ago - Access 97
and Oracle. Must have done it very well because when I ask the main
contractor about it they say "still using it, they love it." The whole time
I'm writing it I'm thinking "why don't they just keep all the data in Oracle
all the time and use an Access front end for what this particular department
wants to do?"

I guess sometimes the politics of IT control are more important than
efficiency. BTW this client had a larger budget than any other client I have
ever worked for. They could have afforded to do it more sensibly.
