[AccessD] Should Business use Access?

Hey All
What a bunch of old farts (like a boardroom). I guess you all still like the
classic Coke.

Well to be fair, Arthur has told us in the past what he sees in the
product, and why he likes it, even describing some its uses and ease of
use. He was probably trying not to be overly redundant.

As for making the developer's life easier I doubt Arthur's life has gotten
any easier. And I bet he has lost a LOT if power and flexibility versus
building ACCDB front ends.

I really didn't see my post - which was relaying one blogger's viewpoint
that the first step in avoiding a "sadBA" existence was forsaking MS Access
- to which he got negative comments in a 20+ to 1 ratio -  as begging to
have AA plugged again.

Art rest assured, when we want to know more about AA (on an Access
community forum like this one? Don't hold your breath) we know you are our
man.
