[AccessD] Access 2007 ULS (was: Access 2007 - Microsoft is justplain stupid.)

But Access 2007 still let's you create databases in 2000 or 2002-3
formats, which can use ULS.  So, they are just guaranteeing that if a
developer wants to continue to use Access, w/ULS, that they aren't going
to use the new format.

On top of that, removing ULS is not going to prevent 'too many people'
from creating personal/business databases that grow into critical
databases....it is just going to ensure that if they do it with a 2007
format, that there will be little to no security in it.

I think what MS did with User Level Security in A2007 makes sense (I'm
not
saying I like it).  What it does is continue to allow the use of Access
for
individual productivity, but prevented it from being used for shared
secured
databases except by people who had at least enough skill to make Access
work
with SQL Server.

The business problem with Access has been that too many people got into
trouble as they grew their database, and then IT departments began to
hate
it because they had to take over a very flawed, department critical,
database with no budget and no time.
