Dear Arthur:
Thank you for writing your article as I did not know that I could create an
ADP that interfaces wonderfully with SQL.  I went from contract Access
development to being an SQL corporate person, never realizing I could
interface Access with SQL so easily.

I was wrong and am embarrassed to have written that. I was using the
beta when I wrote that and subsequent events made me look like an idiot.
I apologize to you all.

I too have devoted most of the last few years to ADP, to the point where
now I am working on an MDB app and have forgotten a huge amount of the
old way of doing things. 

I screwed up big time and did it in public and lots of people read it
and I am quite embarrassed about my screw-up.

Arthur

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.
