While there is no question that John needed dot-net due to a multi-threading
requirement, before making the commitment, you've got to ask yourself:
How many Ferrari's are you asked to build ?

Dot-net is a Ferrari-building tool. It takes a lot longer to build anything
with a complex toolset.
I think Access builds Chevy's very fine and very quickly.

But if you need to build a Ferrari, by all means move up to dot-net.
Super-fancy GUI ? Access can't do it. Multi-threading ? Access can't do it.

Note: since no one understands the software business, so I'm stuck on using
these analogies to explain things to end-users. Sorry, didn't mean to offend
anyone.
