Maybe he's looking for someone to buy it from them...

Outside of the fact that they are running it illegally (and I'd have to double check, but I'm pretty sure its licensed only under Windows), I'm not sure their idea of ensuring every user already have a license is legally correct either. Microsoft probably won't care on that angle though because they are not loosing any revenue that way. <<...and probably wish they could.>> That would be more reason I think for them to go after them. Access 2010/SharePoint is just going no where. What really gets me though is him just walking away from something like that. He alludes to the challenge of putting something like that together, but then goes on to basically say it's beneath him? That just doesn't square. And the fact that it is a desperately needed offering and wanted. It would breath life into a very stale product. I think most of us here would almost die for an opportunity like that. What a shame. To come up with something like that and then just walk away from it. What's even worse though is the damage he's done to his fellow co-founder by posting details like that.

Or maybe Microsoft, will assume he is doing them a service on a product they have all but abandoned...and probably wish they could.

His ramblings also may have cost him; he admits there running Access under WINE/Linux, which I still believe is a violation of the EULA. Access is only licensed under Windows.

I do not remember the name of the program or the name of the link but I do think I recieve a link to the ramblings of the programmer who designed the package. You may find the following post interesting and if someone remembers the app or link it would be interesting to attaching that thread to this post. http://apenwarr.ca/log/?m=201203#26 Jim -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com ********************************************************************** WARNING: All e-mail sent to and from this address will be received, scanned or otherwise recorded by the CPI Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc. corporate e-mail system and is subject to archival, monitoring or review by, and/or disclosure to, someone other than the recipient. **********************************************************************
