[AccessD] New SQL Server license scheme is RADICALLLY more expensive

The only problem with open source:
Are you going to get the requisite and timely support needed to be
competitive ?
Of course, you can fix things yourself....but then when the next major build
is released....
 you've got to retrofit your mods. Now if that isn't shades of Sisyphus, I
don't know what is.
In that case, with every new release, you're climbing back up that
mountain....retrofitting, recompiling, retesting, and on and on it goes.

MSFT and the licensing cost can be a burden, but the support is pretty darn
good...if you know where to look....and who to contact.
That being said, for all those interested, I finally determined that many
major bugs in Office 2010 have been addressed in a November 2011 set of
hot-fixes and updates. The latest release number for Access 2010 and Excel
2010 is 14.0.6112.5000.
The big one: VBA corruption is no longer an issue.
Is anyone cheering ?
