[AccessD] Freelancing

Well, I think all three tools could have been developed and marketed
properly.  Access covers an area not fit for SQL Server and .Net.

But Drew, don't you think this is by INTENTION ?
MSFT had to be careful to protect both their dot-net and SQL Server
platforms.
Both are huge money-makers. Making Access too powerful may have
compromised the power of those platforms.
Just another confirmation of this: Microsoft did not purchase
MZTOOLZ....
Which would have been a tremendous feature for VBA development.
