It is my understanding that the upcoming .ADO release is specifically working towards providing the windows forms controls for both windows apps and web forms. Karen S.

That's a bit farther from the Access object model than might be comfortable for some developers just beginning to make the switch. In spite of the Microsoft push, a lot of people just don't want to use a browser for everything.
