And that is just plain stupid.  SQL is only going to provide security to
the data, NOT to the design of the interface.  Access ULS provided
both.....and you still could use a server side backend if you wanted
more secure data.

They should have beefed up ULS instead.  The argument that developers
should be using SQL Server is degrading Access' data abilities.

Drew,

The idea is that Access will NOT be used to handle security, it will be
used to create a UI against a SQL Express backend, which will handle the
security instead.  Microsoft decided to turn it into a cut rate
powerbuilder, I think.
