I like access and will be disapointed if it is on the way out.... Considering that Access most likely has more users than all other databases combined, it is highly unlikely that it will ever go away. Microsoft just release Access 2010, and are actively working on the next version. Bet the people in office that it will be around in 5 years, and if you bet enough, you'll be able to retire at that time. AAMOF, I'll be happy to back that bet, if you like. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.accessmvp.com http://www.mvps.org/access

The people around your office seem to be extraordinarily misinformed. The last two versions of Access (2007 and 2010) have gotten more development resources than any version since perhaps Access 2000. MS is investing a lot in it and it has a great future. Don't listen to the morons and Access bigots. Ask them for a web page that supports their contentions. They won't have any. You can point them, instead, to the Access team's blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/access/default.aspx -- David W. Fenton http://www.dfenton.com/ usenet at dfenton dot com http://www.dfenton.com/DFA/

This includes the Jet/ACE database engine, which is a big win for a lot of users of it who aren't actually using Access itself. -- David W.
