[AccessD] Access and source control

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Shamil


1.       We haven’t had any requests for Access applications for years. That said, we’ve never really had, because clients ask for solutions and really don’t care how they are solved. Some ask for ”web solutions” but that’s rather because of the easy access to such apps. In many cases, a Remote Desktop solution is much easier to establish – it is browser independent and works from Macs too.


2.       Our old accounting package made in Access is still running for many clients.



3.       Through the years, I have only met two or three, and all were a mess. I would warn against it at any time.

Hi Gustav, Arthur et al --

It's a bit off-topic, sorry - a few questions:

Is there still demand on new classic i.e. .mdb/.accdb (not .adp and Access/SharePoint web apps) apps development?
Are there still real classic MS Access (corporate) apps running?
Are there still power-users creating classic MS Access apps to automate their business?

Thank you.
