[AccessD] apocalypse someday...

Hi Bill:

Well if your application no longer does what you need and there are free or inexpensive products that do...IMO, just bail and move on.

Thank you, I just bought Visio 2010 on eBAY for $99. I call that biting the
bullet. It is a function of laziness and anxiety.

Where "graphing" substitute "flowcharting."  It's emotion taking over. I
just spend $133 buying the 2013 version of Vision on E-Bay only to find my
most necessary use no longer supported. Shame on me, but MS has lost me as a
devotee forever.

Today is the day I decided to sell all my Microsoft stock come Monday. It
will not be because of windows, it will be because they dropped the reverse
engineering function from Visio.

Who the HELL creates a new version of a flagship graphing tool, and drops
one of the very best parts of the software, without thinking "Who might this
screw??"

If MS thought about it, and did it regardless, they should go out of
business and move over for a new vendor who understands their user base
better.

If they did not think about it, see above sentence.

I am out of that stock forever and will be rooting against them from now on.
