[AccessD] Upsizing ACCDB to SQL Server

[Arthur Fuller]

Rocky,
I have no idea. I've never even heard of it. Of course, since I retired and

opinion, the old way was better. Client didn't pay, you whacked him. Clean
and simple. But now we have to have lawyers and such. Sheesh.
Speaking of which, have you seen *Lansky,* starring Harvey Keitel?
