[AccessD] Old Dog NewTricks

I think one of the strongest reasons favoring .Net is political.  There is a
pernicious, unreasoning, prejudice bordering on bigotry against Access in IT
circles which infects users and clients.  It's common wisdom in those
circles that Access is a weak, unstable, platform which users can actually
work with and that causes loss of control for IT - anathema.

Walk in with a $10 budget for an Access app you might lose to someone
proposing the same app in .Net for $20.     So learn .Net and make more $$.

Hey All
Sorry I do not want to start a flame up (I think that is the term),  but in
my research of VB.Net the conundrum of what are the advantages of my using
VB.Net to enhance the development of a database application versus ACCESS
keeps coming up. If you can could you please direct me to articles
expressing this view or your views pro/con (I am not writing an article on
this, it is just for my own curiosity) it would greatly be appreciated
(remember I am a Newbie to VB.Net). If you don't mind, to avoid clogging up
the user group,  please  EMail me offline. Any responses will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
Tony
