Chuck, I don't know that it is so "biased". I have clients on

to work with it occasionally. And I happen to own MS SQL servers... :)
IMHO, it's pretty well "fact comparison".

And, of course, not at all self-serving. One might even say "fair and
balanced".
Seriously, while I am a huge FMP fan and think of Access as Bill
Gates's revenge on programmers who said he was basically just a
dollars-and-cents guy who'd never REALLY understand software, there's
no way anything coming from an interested party is gonna be impartial
and unbiased. It's a marketing tool, no more.
As always in such self-interested comparisons, the things you DON'T
see (IE, the areas where FMP is inferior to Access) is where the bias
is most likely to occur.
No way in hell would I ever use Access, of course. Just sayin'.

Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question. "No" is the
answer.
