[AccessD] Access and source control

[Charlotte Foust]

I, on the other hand, have a contract with the State of California to do
nothing but build Access apps for various units within the Energy
Commission.  These are classic apps that help a group manage its workflow
and provide a way for them to quickly find a particular task for review, as
well as giving them on the fly reports and the ability to  dump information
to Excel in a tidy format.  In addition, I present workshops on building
Access applications and mentor individuals who need help with projects
they've "developed".

The homegrown stuff is usually pretty bad, but they love what I build.  I
also tell them when Access is not the appropriate solution.
