Wow, so choosing the right tool for the job is as bad as body piercing,
whips and chains?   AND, you dare to call it "framework"?????
"On-The-Fly SQL Statements"????  Man, I must be missing something very
simple, and wasted all my life not being able to see it...wonder what
the heck it is... Oh, I get it, it's MS Access used as a RAD tool!!!!

Good luck

everything using something more robust like C#, C++, or even VB.

Yea, in the same circles where it is normal to tie each other up, pierce
body parts and use whips and chains for sexually deviant purposes.

True.  And for those of you who don't use a framework, or who designed
their framework from the ground up to use SQL Server that is certainly
an option. My framework does things not easily ported to SQL Server
(on-the-fly SQL Statements referencing form controls for example).  One
of the reasons that I moved my billing app to SQL Server is to slowly
start the process of porting the framework.  To this point, life has
gotten in the way of THAT project.

Or even abandoning the .mdb part of Access and building it as an ADP,
then that problem goes away completely and you still retain some of the
RAD attributes of building it w/ Access.
