[AccessD] The List

Hi Tony:

MS Access was at one time the major development platform for small to medium
databases. Even though Access can do amazing things computer wide
application designs have moved on but MS has not moved the product on, other
than a face-lift or two. 

Most application developers I deal with on a day to day bases work on the
web or work, legacy databases and some new desktop stuff...a very mixed bag.
There are still many sites that depend on Access databases but clients tend
to be reluctant to pay contractors the true value of development...that is
as much perception as a sign of the recessionary times.

As for the people here being able to answer computer questions; I have
rarely seem a more willing and brilliant bunch. The people here on the list
can answer just about everything on any system and not just Access, you
could throw at them or know away around a problem. I have watched many
complex questions worked through and resolved here and I am still very
impressed.

In summary, when it comes right down it, it is the people that make
site/list what it is. If you want more; as was said in Rome, a couple of
thousand years ago, "Ask not what this list can do for you, ask what you can
do for this list".

If you want sometime to do to help, just ask... I can think of a few things
that an "old Fart" with time on his hands can do and I am sure many others
have many more good ideas.
 
Jim

Hey All

I guess I am just an old fart, reminiscing about the past. I love Access and
this list, it seems we all have  evolved in our expertise with the program,
but Access has not. It is a shame, because now this old dog will have to
figure out what route to venture into next.  Anyway enough of this
silliness, onward and upwards, but first I have got to go find where I put
my slippers.
