I have been active in the Access Users Group of San Diego for many years. When I first started with them in I think 1997, there used to be 40-50 attendees at the monthly meetings, sometimes more. Now they're lucky to get ten. If we're trying to figure out how to bring back the glory days of AccessD we're probably rowing upstream. But I think that just means expanding the lists to include the newer platforms like we have done with SQL and tech lists. Maybe we should try a 'Web' list which would encompass all things web related in our development worlds - like C++, Java, Alpha 5, Mobile apps, etc. Rocky ===========I live in a very small Access cave, so my contribution to this discussion is small, and ... probably askew. I can only go by my readers' needs and questions. I receive no questions about Access. When I publish an Access tip or article, no one comments. They're not even viewing the page. Now, that might be because I'm not giving them what they want -- a very likely scenario. But no one's asking for anything either. I can't really draw much of a conclusion, but Access was once my bread and butter. I didn't stop writing about it because I wanted to -- but because publishers no longer wanted the content because subscribers no longer paid for it.
