Hope your coding is better then your grammar and spelling. :) Regardless, this will seem to get out of hand and I will apologize to the fullest for even posting this. I did not think it would create so much controversy. I will just finish with this:
It is a rough market and any extra income is welcome, at least in this area. You can always argue with the new car buyer that the Mercedes will give him more reliability in the long run, but if the man only has $10,000, that will not buy the Mercedes. Second, there are other alternatives to Access that I suggested, even MySQL, but this is what they wanted and what they had already agreed to in the specs of this application. Sometimes no matter what you explain or convey to the client, they know what they want, sometimes just to ease manageability.

"Access is not an enterprise level application, but if you know what you're doing and do the job well Access is a perfectly acceptable database for large and medium traffic applications" I disagree, if aint using SP's or good T-SQL it aint "right", sure its an OK DB platform, but how many .NET apps running at Microsoft do you know of? Probably none and if that's not a testimony to the fact it aint a viable option then I dont know what is.... who better than the people who made the product to do a "good job" I say... -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Moretti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 January 2003 16:32 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: MS Access Are you aware that there are applications out there web based and running directly from Access across a LAN quite happily with upto a couple of million records? Obviously not! No, Access is not an enterprise level application, but if you know what you're doing and do the job well Access is a perfectly acceptable database for large and medium traffic applications. Don't make judgements about whether an application is the most appropriate tool when you know nothing of the project requirements or specification. > Erm, if its a big project you sure as hell dont want to be doing it in > Access - its a Desktop application.
