[AccessD] Future of Microsoft Access

I completely agree.  Access is like the leatherman of computer
applications.  Always handy for some jobs, completely useless for
others.  And MS's lack of listening when it comes to hard core
developers, has let some great ideas slip by, and pigeon holed Access a
bit.

I've got tons of examples where Access falls short when it comes to it's
interface.... don't even get me started!

Steve,

We all know you're an Access fan.  I have been too, since I preordered
version 1.0.  That doesn't blind me to the fact that Microsoft, not
developers, has niched Access into a "power user" slot.  Everyone who
has been on this list for a while has made Access stand up and do
tricks.  We KNOW what it can do, but MS has ignored our pleas on
behalf of Access since forever.  That is why the "legend" of Access's
demise persists.  Access will be around, but it gets cosmetic
treatments not true improvements.
