[dba-Tech] Access vs. .NET

Hi John
 
What do mean saying "end user stuff". Do end users program in .Net?

Yep, bewilderment is allowed.  The biggest issue in my opinion with
.net is
that while 9/10ths of the classes are not end user stuff they still
have to
expose them (and document them) since with true inheritance it is
possible
that you will need to get at them every once in awhile.  It would be
nice if
it were organized such that the end user stuff were all that you saw
unless
you "pressed a button" to show the parent objects.  

The other thing is that the organization, the presentation is totally
different from Access.  We simply aren't used to it.  Because in
Access
inheritance doesn't exist per se a lot of the things (windows of
information) that are required in .net aren't needed in Access.  It is
absolutely overwhelming when you first get started.
