Ryan;

do you really believe everything that you read?

well here you go; I just found this announcement on the Seattle Times
website

Microsoft Discontinues Access MDB Format

Associated Press. Microsoft Announced today that they will discontinue
backwards support for the MDB format due to instability and performance
problems. Product Manager Ifightforthe PinkTeam, of Redmond, WA said
that Access Data Projects are a critical component of offfice; and that
they would rather focus on ONE decent format than THREE.

Microsoft regrets any inconvienence that this has on Independent
Software Vendors and Value Added Resellers.

"You all knew what you had coming; we tried warning you 8 years ago"
Steve Ballmer was quoted this morning on the way to the airport.



I cut and pasted that from a newspaper website; so it MUSE BE TRUE,
huh?

Susie,

Um... Not that I'm offended or anything, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't
to me that you wanted to direct this response. Or maybe it was, who
knows, but my only contribution to this thread was a casual wind-up of
Aaron.

Susie is right-- ADP isn't being discontinued; it is blossoming in
Access 2007; you can backwards translate any ACCDB into either MDB or
ADP format.. right?

Sounds pretty wonderful to me.

get your facts straight why dont you
ADP is the best environment ANYWHERE

where else can you right-click FILTER and right-click SORT?

I love this platform and I'll be damned if I let people continue to
spread LIES about Access Data Projects.

ADP rock.

MDB dipshits run around spending half of their life, compacting and
repair.. troubleshooting locking; recovering-- bouncing the file
server 'to get everyone out of access'

ADP are reliable.. a wizard to take a backup once a week and save 2
months of backups.
A _WIZARD_ to do that.

SQL Server Developers Edition is only $49.. I mean; it's EASY to use
Enterprise Level tools against a SQL 2000 environment and move a lot of
data around

Access Data Projects have WIZARDS for update query, append query, make
table query... with SQL Server Management Studio; you can write JOINS
on deletes and JOINS on updates... great IDE; much better than MDB.

you can view subqueries in design view.. I mean; it's just ridiculous
how beautiful the environment is.

INSERT, AUTOFORM.

I just love this platform; I mean-- compared to Crystal Reports?? or
MDB? or Excel?

ADP rocks guys... I mean _WOW_ sprocs slaughter Access queries.

(btw, is jet going to list sprocs in the next version lol)
