[AccessD] Code Library, Sample Database, Etc.

...its not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing ...if you work in an 
environment where SS is available and the notwork resources are available to 
support it, of course you would use SS in most applications.

...but if you are a consultant working with many small businesses where you 
are it, then a well designed dao mdb fe/be can be highly stable and work 
every bit as well as an adp/SS combo ...in point of fact with up to at least 
15 users a well designed dao based mdb will normally out perform an ado 
based fe.

...and with A'07 it appears that MS itself is moving back to the dao model 
...what irks me is people declaring that their favorite model is best for 
everyone ...or casting unwarranted aspersions on Access be's and dao when 
they really don't work in an environment where that model functions best.
