[AccessD] Access Web app question - Office UI Fabric

[Mark Simms]

Re: "What you get with the current Web App effort is basic CRUD"
Exactly. What about complex multi-field cross validation ?
Oh....that's only possible with some code....not doable with those stupid
macros.

I'm going to a demo tomorrow about the new Office UI Fabric....
which appears to be the new VBA for Office 365.
You can even create Office 365 add-ins with this new platform.
Now that is cool......
