Re: Official Status of SQLServer 2005 ADP

As we started out looking at writing a replacement for the old Access app
that basically runs our small business, I wrestled with the idea of writing
it with Access (maybe ADP) or VB.Net.

Access I know and love, .NET I have played with, but that's about all. I
had decided on using Access because I knew we could get 80% of the
functionality we wanted in no time, plus programing is not my primary job in
our company. We planed on doing some more advanced stuff with .NET (outside
of the main app) once the nuts and bolts were taken care of.
I am rethinking this now. I imagine we will always have Access around for
adhoc query and reporting, plus its integrating into sharepoint better and
better.

It might be time for me to bite the bullet and learn .Net, but I think I
knew that..
