[AccessD] Never Thought I'd See the Day

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Susan

Well, like everywhere else, VBA doesn't top the list. The demand is for web, mobile, and API development (typically Java, C#, Javascript, and "full stack"), not to mention security people of any kind.

In line with this, my latest tasks - an API and a custom export-import system between two ERP systems - I created in C# with Visual Studio.

I was recently offered a large task for Access, but it would tie me up with three full days for half year, which I couldn't allocate. But that's the exception.
