[AccessD] Access2007 Question

I agree.  I don't need to be a web developer.  I only need enough Access
development to keep me busy.  Of course, I'm 60. If I was looking at another
20-30 years of development I'd probably be taking .Net courses.  And it
doesn't take that much Access development to keep one guy busy.  

I'm praying I can ride Access right down to retirement. :)

Hey All
You guys/gals are scaring me again.
I don't  understand this continuous discussion of the demise of Access.
If you can produce a sound stable application, it really does not matter
what platform you develop it in.  The client is the final determining
factor, if they are happy then you are happy.  I still have a couple of
applications out there running under Access97, they work and the client is
happy.
I updated to Access 2003 on the advise from this list, and avoided
Access2007.
And interesting enough,  in the last couple of weeks I have been bashed by
the Oracle developers who have said again "Oh you are using that toy,
Access".  My come back was " Okay give me a project and let us take the
gloves off and see who produces the best project", no takers.
On the other end "Yes I may be falling behind", but it is only marketing
that is dictating what  is the new flavour of the week.  If you do your job
and you do it well, who cares what marketing tells you.

Everyday I see so much extraordinary work done by the individuals on this
list and I am constatntly amazed.  Why is everyone so willing to throw in
the towel.
