[AccessD] Old Dog - New Tricks

I disagree with Drew. I stopped trying to do anything on the
web until .Net came out because it was simply too difficult.

I would move to VS 2008 and not go with 2005 or earlier. The
reason is the ability to port between windows and browser using
XAML.

Rocky, you (or someone) asked about porting back and forth between
the two. Simply put, you don't. They are entirely two different
animals. VS 2008 and XAML will allow it to happen though.
