[AccessD] The future of Access, .NET and SQL

Come one, JWC... you are not being fair. I have seen some of your apps, and
we are both in approximately the same place: 300+ tables, 500+ queries, 500+
forms, etc. You cannot manage a UI (using previous conventions) that handles
this kind of load. I think that the new UI may be a way cool method to
delivering this sort of complexity. I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first
time), but I am thinking that these smart UI objects are just the ticket to
let me deliver a complex app with a minimum of fuss.

A way cool new interface IS a beast.  If it were particularly way cool I
could understand it, but it is HUGE, and just replaces the smaller toolbars.
B And it is almost impossible to turn off.  Your users of your custom
databases are going to have that in their face.

Is there some beast that you detect here when I just sense a way-cool new
UI?
