[AccessD] My Comments

Re: "it has been so terribly darn slow lately"
Tony, I'm "with you" and I love Access as dearly....OK, maybe not as much as
Excel ;)

The problem is: the above statement should read:
Re: "it will be so terribly darn slow in the foreseeable future"
I have never seen so few requirements for Access developers....ever.
And when an opening pops-up....it's gone within 48 HOURS. Obviously,
Everyone is starving !!
On top of that, agencies.consulting firms know this and are TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF IT (more on that later).

The trend towards web 2.0-based apps and cloud computing has made Access an
antique.
Had MSFT made a VBA to Web Macro conversion facility, we'd all be working
like mad....moving our client's apps to the cloud under Office 365
Alas, they did not. In fact, they even disabled Office 365 from having
Access services.
That's right: You cannot run a 2007/2010 access web app within Microsoft's
own new cloud service.
How's THAT for a kick in the teeth to Access developers.
That's all "Balmer" for you. Never liked the guy, never will.

This is all reason to get out of this business.
