Forget about it!!  

I doubt anyone will be losing their job over it.  Not the end of the world.

I erred and made a fool of myself in public. The really ironic part of it is
that I'm developing an ADP in 2003 but shipping 2002-compatible code and I
forgot that I'm using 2003.

In short, I'm a fool and don't trust anything I say or write. 

Very sorry for this error, folks. Now I am totally aware of the meaning of
the word "chagrined". 

I could try and foist some of the blame upon my brilliant editor at
builder.com but that would compound my errors. It's not her fault that this
slipped through. It's all upon me.

Arthur,

While I haven't devoted much time to keeping up with SQL Server developments
I do subscribe to a couple SQL Server newsletters: SQL Server Central and
Builder.com. My eyes lit on the headline "Enhance Enterprise Manager with
Access." I thought to myself I thought, "Self, isn't that what Arthur Fuller
has recommended lo! these many eons?"

I read through to the bottom of the article and, sure enough, there's your
moniker. There was also the open question, "Why did Microsoft kill ADP files
in Access 2003?" I remember some time back before Access 2003 came out you
were biting your tongue in the groups here because you were under an NDA.
The only thing I remember you saying was something about how disappointed
you were with Microsoft's direction with Access.

In Access 2003 are we reduced to using ADO in code to get at SQL Server
data? I suppose that ODBC is still an option if one wants to have direct
manipulation of SQL Server tables, right? Sorry if these are naive
questions; I've been wandering for a while.
