[AccessD] FMS Article on the new features in Access 2007

I agree - I've already told my customers that I'll be moving to .Net in a
year or so.  And, with the economy down and all my customers having gone
'quiet' this is a good time to learn!

It makes sense for MS to move Access back to a user/power user tool.  Why
have two development environments?  They've put lots of money into making VS
work well (I like VS 2008).  But I do remember that the first versions of VS
were poor - all the developers were asking, "Why can't it work like Access?"
Well, the IDE is now much improved.

But still, I know I can knock out stuff in Access pretty quickly now!

I think tis is EXACTLY the case.  Microsoft has unilaterally decided 
that Access is for power users and .Net is for developers.  We don't get 
a vote.
