[AccessD] Poll on Access 2007

Hi Steve,

I have heard there are should be many new features in MS Access 2010 - is
that information on "What's new in MS Access 2010" already available
somewhere?

Don't take "attacks" on your opinion on MS Access 2007 pros&cons too close
to yourself - such "attacks" is a usual way to discuss "hot" topics here -
welcome to the club! :) 

As for MS listening or not to MS Access (VBA) developers: they are listening
I think but they apply a strong "noise filter" on what they hear - and that
filter does very probably filter out many things advanced MS Access (VBA)
developers urge for but MS finds them to be irrelevant to their own
business...

Microsoft do you hear me? :)

Thank you.

Thanks very much for your comments.  As you know, we are rapidly approaching

the release of the next version.  Access 2007 was always going to be an 
interim measure, as a step moving towards new paradigms.  I will have a 
better idea whether I'm backing the right horse after we have built some 
Access 2010 apps.

> MS Access has been on the edge before and I think it is now again.

Ever since I first started using Access in 1994, there have been vehement 
claims in one quarter or another that Access is dead, Microsoft is dropping 
Access, X and Y are better than Access, etc.  I don't know about "on the 
edge", but really a turning point.  What I think will happen is that those 
who abandon Access because of the new directions, will be replaced by others

who embrace it and move forward with it.

If you're one of those who moves to other technologies, I understand the 
reasons, and have no criticism, and I hope there is nothing I have said to 
imply otherwise.  I wish you well with that.  But for me, at this stage it 
looks like I will be sticking with Access for the long haul.
