[AccessD] Access development on the wane?

We use DataDynamics' ActiveReports, which are very similar to Access
reports in design and layout.  There's even a wizard to migrate Access
reports to .Net.  It does a fairly good job, but very complex nested
subreports need a lot of hand tweaking.

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.
