Pat, Clearly I am a fan of Access. I have 10's of thousands of post on the Internet on the subject and know more about Access than 99.9% of so called Access developers. So do not tell me who is a fan of Access. But it is what it is. The development environment looks the same as 25 years ago except of stupid things like multi value fields and split forms. So there are times when it is time to move on.
How did you derive the 99.9%?
Building database is so much less about technologies, and so much more about business models, and psychology. After that, data structure is more important than controls and their functions.
But, back to the 99.9% thing. Is that 99.9% of, code writers, table makers, UI designers, requirements gatherers, testers, trainers, or documenters?
Or, you in the top .1% of all that?
