Yea, I'm not converting old apps to .net.  They don't belong to me and no
one wants to pay the price.  I have one specific client which is big, and
for whom I use SQL Server big time.  For this guy I am doing everything in
C#.  I had written a bunch of this same kind of stuff in Access but it just
didn't function well, so as I needed the parts, I rewrote in C#.

It is crazy how much better it works.  The data is all huge stuff in SQL
Server which simply never fit in Access anyway, I was only using Access for
the VBA language.  All of that VBA instability is just gone.

I loved Access, and I used it until 2007 drove me into the arms of C#.  This
project convinced me that for anything future / major, it will almost
certainly be C#.

Plus to be able to say I can automate SQL Server from C# just sounds
powerful.  Vroooom!  ;)

I am doing some pretty awesome (to me) stuff and looking at even more
awesome stuff.
