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'. = = = = = = Richard S.
