Not so. We have bid on contracts this year that specifically states: Access must be used. The rationale: Access is an "approved" application. If a web-based solution is sought it must conform to "NEW" application criteria. It could take up to 18 months for approval. The customer doesn't want nor need the browser solution.

In my latest contract engagement, where I was working for the USER department, And NOT the IT department, Access was actually "banned" within 6 weeks into my engagement. This was a surprise directive from the IT department, and it was very "political". The users were quite upset with this....and attempted to get it "overturned". 6 weeks later, I was "let go". I am sure this is happening "all over" the USA. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com ################################################################################ If you have received this message in error, please contact the sender immediately and be aware that the use, copying, or dissemination of this information is prohibited.
