[AccessD] Access/SQL

Mark,

IMO C# + .NET Framework is the best ever general purpose development
platform for business applications.

I'm talking from my experience in development of business applications using
PL/1, COBOL, Fortran (Fortran-77), Pascal, Delphi, C/C++, DataFlex, VBA,
VB6, VB.NET, C#...

One with good VB6/VBA development experience can start developing VB.NET
business apps the next day/week provided they will get proper
guidelines/help/tutoring...

I have such examples as e.g. when I have got advanced MS Excel COM Add-in
and converted it (just starting using VB.NET this day) to a VB.NET one
within three days (10,000+ code lines) - it's nothing special - most of
experienced VB6/VBA developers can do that.

Visual Studio's flexibility, hugeness and the monolithic nature of the
dot-net libraries allow it to build operating systems. And therein lies the
problem: we are building BUSINESS applications.
Big difference.
I imagine if you use Visual Studio and dot-net every day for 12 hours/day
for a couple of years,
you can finally QUICKLY build business apps.
