William,

What are you using for reporting in your .NET apps?  The built in report
engine is still one of the great strengths of Access.

...I've moved to focus on the .net development environment and that's what I
push to clients now ...there is still plenty of Access work but I'm not
starting anything new in it ...had not considered Access so much as
declining as just not being the best development environment any longer
...once you have a few controls and a source code library, .net in VS8 is
just a lot better to work with than Access, especially A2k7.
