[AccessD] Simple-Talk commentary

Well, it's WOW to me... ;).  I have never used VS 2005.  I was using VB
6, still do today, and obviously I've used VBA in the various versions
of Office, but it's been several years since I've had to develop
anything other than an occasional side job with Access, and one big app
I developed in VB 6 (that I add to or tweak here and there).

I am just getting my feet wet, and I guess the best way I can describe
the 'wow' is this:

After using VB 6 for a while, with it's debug mode, and simple 'create
.exe' option, I played around in Microsoft Visual C++.  Trying to do a
real simple little 'hello world' type thing, turned into hours and hours
of trying to figure out why the darn thing wouldn't build.  My first
little 'let me see if I can do this in VB.Net', in VS 2010, where you
have includes, and have to build, etc, not as simple as VB 6 used to
be.... yep, I got a build error, but it practically held my hand to walk
through what I needed to do in order to fix it.

So either I got smarter (doubt it...) or it got better! ;)

Drew,

Can you define WOW for us?  I am still using (only casually) VS2005.
