Hi John: That is a good point. We are in a stage of computing where much of the PCs are being replaced with little more than dumb terminals...we have come from terminals in the 70s and earlier and now we are going back to them. These terminals (mobile devices) are maybe new but they are only dumb terminals with a pretty interface. Welcome back to our future. This means that most of the development jobs are going to the web and that trend is showing no signs of slowing and it most likely never will. The best you can do now is roll your own web servers and get your JavaScript skills up to par. ;-) Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "John W Colby" <jwcolby at gmail.com> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 6:54:45 PM Subject: Re: [AccessD] Sign up for an Office 365 Developer Site Of course functionality (and looks, and comprehensibility) sucks. It reminds me of the old computer programs from the 70s. But hey, flexibility. John W.
