[AccessD] Expressions

Hi Rocky:

Isn't Expression a web designer type tool... it specialized in blog building
similar to WordPress. It also has a number programming features built within
it so it can be made fairly functional. OTH it is supposed to be a cruddy
web designer not at all like my favourite Dreamweaver.

I think MS Access is probably a better database management tool but it is
not designed for web deployment. So I guess it depends on whether the
application is to be desktop or web based.

For you, the ultimate would be to quickly hack together an Access BE with
all the business logic built in and quickly put together a custom built web
site FE and I would recommend Dreamweaver for ease of use... but that would
just be my personal opinion.

The optimum would be to build the whole in something like ASP.Net or many of
the excellent frameworks that are out there.

Jim

A potential client is trying to decide whether to create a very proprietary
algorithm (for matching up patients with doctors - kind of a medical dating
service if you will) in Access or Expression Engine.  I don't know about
Expression.  Good alternative?  Can you protect your code with Expression?
