[AccessD] The Future of Access

Hi Mark:

Heard the other night from a friend of a friend, that MS Access ran into trouble a number of years ago when the Access development team at Microsoft broke up. Some went to other projects like MS SQL, a number of others just retired and some went to work for other companies. At the end there just was not enough developers that could remember and support the core code design.

IMHO, this is when they should have moved the application into the OSS world.

The future of Access would have been fantastic had MSFT create a VBA to
Javascript converter that would allow for complex validation and
presentation logic on a web form.

Instead they took a simplistic approach, and that was the end of it.
Of course tieing it into Sharepoint didn't help either.

This was obviously a very deliberate move.
