[AccessD] FW: Access 2007 (and other rants)

Hi Doug,

It's nearly as RAD as using MS Access - sometimes (much) quicker sometimes
slower, but if one starts from zero level coming from VBA world then rather
long learning curve should be taken into account...

Using native ASP.NET controls in web apps development didn't create any
problems here with users working in IE7 (and IE6), FF, even Safari...

To make simple ASP.NET application with just several (or even many) data
entry/edit/retrieval forms is relatively easy task but making the same
application ready to go scaled to enterprise level is a very different task,
which will take much more efforts, still with good experience in ASP.NET
even enterprise level development could be as RAD as usual MS Access
development...

Consider using one or another third-party (or hand-made) code generators and
ORM frameworks: the LINQ for SQL, which MS targets to this ORM role haven't
yet got proven to be the best ORM framework/tool (but I must say I could
have missed latest news/articles/books on this 'LINQ for SQL as ORM
framework' subject)...

Does anyone have a rough idea of how long it takes to code a Web app versus
a comparable Access database?
