[AccessD] Burn Out

Hi Mark:

All Microsoft would have to do to make Access a real application again is to
bundle and integrate Express SQL and the VS express, with it and create a
migration path/product from VB to .Net and from MDB to SQL...and maybe do
the same for Excel.

Jim - as I had pointed out in a prior post, that appears to be the case.
I think it all started to go downhill with AC2007.
Had that app been more robust in the area of web deployment, things might
have been different.
Them, Google Apps and the rest, chipped away at it.

I was contacted last week about a really large and complex Access & Excel
app....built for a state government.
The day after I made an inquiry, the contract was already
signed....effectively in 2 DAYS !
That provides a great backdrop for gauging supply/demand in this market for
Access/Excel VBA expertise.
