[AccessD] Help with an Access web app -- finding records without matching related records

Jim et. al.

I know that I have banged this drum before, but it deserves another bang.
Forget about MS and Access and move into the much more modern world that is
delivered by Alpha Anywhere. Emphasis is on "Anywhere" -- one construction
works on phones, tablets, and traditional web browsers. In terms of
pricing, it's on the expensive side, as compared with a simple purchase of
Access, but on the other hand the Alpha team takes its project very
seriously, and what they refer to as "updates" typically include whole new
areas of functionality. IMO, there is simply no comparison with competing
products. The Alpha team delivers rock-solid software that you can use to
build front ends for smart-phone, tablet and traditional web browsers. And
to top it off, the product also includes "disconnected" abilities, ideal
for those working remotely, in places where a net-connect is difficult or
impossible.

Arthur

P.S.
I own no shares nor have any economic interest in Alpha Software. I
champion the product and the team behind it for no better reason than they
deliver great software. On their shoulders I have created several quality
apps so far, and intend to create many more.
