Hi Susan, I read it this morning! Very Good - I believe I've seen all of this. Very unfortunate for the company those IT folks are in. One of your items is that Access is easy to learn, and sometime the databases have departments that become dependent on them, and then IT has to do an 'emergency' repair with no budget, no people, and no time. When this happens over and over IT starts to hate Access. In fact, I got my first customer by explaining this exact problem to the IT person and was able to persuade him that the problem wasn't Access, but just the untrained person who was no longer there (he'd just spent 2 weeks trying to unsecure the database). I set them up with a new system, kept it maintained, and he was a big supporter after that! To show this problem graphically, I made a chart.
