[AccessD] Learning .Net

Hey All
Thanks for the information.
In all my years I have only had one client request a web based 
application, then they shelved the idea. But I get the point, though as 
many of you have said it seems you would have to be a master of many 
languages/techniques to produce a quality finished web product. And in 
some cases the cost would be prohibitive to many of my clients.

The reason I asked about Oracle, is as Jim mentioned

but to find meaningful work in an Oracle town is difficult to say the
least. 

Several of my clients have some big apps developed in Oracle and when I 
mentioned MS SQL the response was "Huh what????".

So I guess this old fart will continue to work his "hoodoo voodoo" using 
Access. I have downloaded MS SQL and VB.Net and started to dabble in 
learning both. Again like Jim mentioned what I really need is a "kick 
start" by having a client request and providing time to produce an 
application using the above.  I am kind of envious of  those of you who 
had the foresight years ago to start the learning curve early.  I just 
hope a new "flavour of the month", doesn't show up any time soon in the 
near future.

Thanks again
Just another old fart floating in the ether.
