You mean us old dogs who have refused to learn new tricks may have procrastinated long enough so that our Access apps can be web enabled without having to learn .Net or any of that other stuff?

I was looking at the Access 2010 Developer Kitchen event that Rocky forwarded: http://blogs.msdn.com/access/archive/2009/08/19/access-2010-developer-kitche n.aspx In the comments, this exchange jumped out: > SamC said: > Can MS Access 2010 Developer Edition make full web databases that can > be hosted from anywhere without sharepoint? > Clint Covington said: > Sam - we aren't disclosing more info about web databases until mid > October. Let's continue the conversation at that point. Sounds like they have something to disclose! As you know, Microsoft is taking Office to the web with their Office Live project: http://www.officelive.com/en-us/ Right now, Word, Excel and PowerPoint are supported. The interfaces are in Silverlight, I believe. So, does anybody have any dirt to dish? Let's gossip! -Ken PS - If they really deliver a true client-server web app running full Access forms and reports with events and VBA underneath, I'll kiss Ballmer's bare butt! If it's standards-based HTML/CSS/Javascript -- both cheeks! -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
