...the leaks I see on A14 say its there to stay ...no word on fixes to specific developer complaints about its functionality ...given the MS track record, I expect it will be A15 before it gets really "fixed" ...not that I'll be around to use it but I expect to take a peek at it for old times sake. ...Access is part of the Office development environment now ...they took it away from SQL Server and firmly planted it in the Office queue, that has both good and bad imports ...we might actually see a new dao and better integration with a now dedicated Jet engine ...otoh Access is going to be stuck with the Office interface and the user vs developer focus ...ala the ribbon.
