[AccessD] Access to VB.Net

Thank you very much for all the good advice.
Arthur, do you know if this 2008 beta has the limitations that John
mentioned with stand-alone 2005 or does it provide the full functionality
that Visual Studio provides?  Also, would you have a URL for it?
So far then; definitely not vb 2005.

Also: Can I assume that (following the posting by Shamil) that VBA/VB will
become deprecated in the short term and that vb.net is the way to go for the
future (given that my current knowledge base is vba).

Also: Will vb.net give me the ability to make my apps 'net aware'.  By that
I mean, will I be able to make my databases available on-line without
needing ASP etc.

Thanks
Max

I would suggest, if you're just getting started, that you skip 2005 and go
directly to the .net 2008 beta, available for download now.
