[AccessD] Retirement

...in actuality Jim, it took me awhile but I find dot.net a LOT easier to 
work in when you want to do something Access doesn't have built in ...once 
you get used to the different design paradigms, its amazing what you can do 
...and vb.net is little more than Access VBA with classes built in ...once 
you get your feet up, dl the FREE Visual Studio 8 VB.Net Express and start 
to rework one of your recent Access projects in it ...I think you'll be 
amazed at what you can do ...plus the VB.net list here is getting a lot more 
traffic and you'll be very comfortable with most of the names there as well.

...and you should know this yourself already but maybe you've just not 
connected the dots, an inside connection with some accountants is a goldmine 
for small business software developers.

...of course, if you've already bought that ranch in Guana Caste, maybe you 
won't be so bored after all :)
