[AccessD] Make Access real again

It's not already? I sometimes wonder what the career path at MS are for the
people who spend time on MS Access development.  Maybe it's not great and
maybe that makes it unattractive to the best and brightest developers and
consequently the application... is not, er, as wonderful as it could be.

True but I think my initial wish list are the very basics. 

Your requests are the real cream and we wouldn't want the new MS Access to
be the very best application development platform out there would we?

No Jim, much more than that.

They've got to improve the IDE; purchase MzTools and SmartIndenter addins
and integrate them,
Improved cross referencing, etc.
Build-in sort functionality into VBA.
Remove form limitations.
The list goes on and on....
