[AccessD] Interesting Access article

[Arthur Fuller]

I have written more than a few enterprise-side apps using Access and
Termiinal Server About 100 users at once, give or take a dozen, people from
all the North American time-zones.
Access is an awesome tool, and I think maybe more powerful than MS
consented to. I used to write monolithic apps that did everything, but
subsequently learned another way to skin the apple, as it were: write each
task as a  separate app; create shortcuts to them all; one double-click
executes the task and then exits. The whole point of this is to eliminate
the user, which most obviously works for Reports. Double-click this button
and magically the report spits out of your printer, or perhaps a text file.
No fuss, no muss; there it is.
