[AccessD] The list

Tony,

<<I have rarely seen  a new problem solved and yes I
will include myself.  I think you and myself have become dinosaurs. There
are so many brilliant minds on this list and all that knowledge is being
wasted.>>

 Part of the issue is that there really is nothing new, so there's more OT
and chatter then in the past.

 Access is now a mature product and in one form or another, we've all been
down the various paths many times.  Microsoft hasn't done all that much for
developers in the last few releases.  Everything added has been mostly
geared towards the end user, while age old problems such as references in
VBA and lack of support for 3rd party controls has not been addressed.

 So nothing really new to explore since A2003; a ten year gap.  Yeah there's
been some odd's and end's, like attachment fields, but that has been only of
minor excitement.

 There is some new frontier to be conquered with the forth coming Office 13,
so I'd expect to see some new life in the list, but I think that will be
short lived.  Again, Access is being geared towards the end user and in that
regard, the writing's been on the wall for quite some time.

 So I can sympathize with your sentiments and I too for the most part now
ignore the list.  Stuff that is OT is not even flagged OT anymore.

Jim.

Hey All

I have been on this list since 1994. There was a guy called Colby ,totally
true of heart but a very bumptious and annoying individual. This is not only
from me but concerns from others on this list I have talked to, that the
list has become a chat line. I do not see any new blood coming in and
offering or asking questions. All I see is the old boys club, and a lot of
"Off topic" chatter".  I have rarely seen  a new problem solved and yes I
will include myself.  I think you and myself have become dinosaurs. There
are so many brilliant minds on this list and all that knowledge is being
wasted.

 

Sorry Guys I am out of here.
