[AccessD] Apparently Code {project is in a Nostalgic Mood today

[John Bartow]

You both, and many others here, beat me to using Access. I had been using Informix on the Unix box and R:Base on the PCs and really enjoyed that. But somewhere in the mid 90's I talked to a support person and they were perseverating about Redmond luring all of their staff away so he didn't know when this issue would get fixed. I knew the writing was on the wall. I started switching everything to Access '97.

You beat me by a few months.  I started with Access in early 1993 I was  regularly using Dataflex from 1986 but phased it out between 1993 and 1995 in favour of Access.

And it wasn't VBA then :)

Ver 1 ( Oct/Nov 1992)  didn't have any form of Basic. 
Ver 1,1 (May 1993) introduced "Access Basic Programming Language" and continued it in Ver 2.
Access 95 introduced VBA in 1995
