Sorry, I meant its on every desktop in MY organization. I am certainly not promoting
Access for external work. And by quick, I mean what can you deliver if you have
at most 2-3 days for development? With competent users what you produce in Access
can be also extended since they can make their own reports and queries fairly easily.
In the same time period, what you produce in Delphi is far more closed and
generally needs some kind of installation.
