I think you have missed the point. It is unlikely that anyone here really likes Access. Of course we all prefer Free Software. What we are saying is that it would be nice if there were a program just as powerful and easy to use as Access so pointy-haired types could whip up a cool looking database driven application with a minimum of learning like they can with Access. If the boss wants Linux on his desk (or is at least willing to tolerate it) it makes it easier for guys like you and me to get Linux on our desks (which is what we want, right?). -- Tracy R Reed http://copilotconsulting.com 1-877-MY-COPILOT -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
