Hello.
I think that there are some latent potentials of Access to be great
universal front-end RAD. I supposse it is possible to achieve great progress
even with old technologies such as DAO and ODBC, if some small modifications
are added such as passing parameters to saved pass-through queries.

Technology is so prevalent in so many types of organizations, with so many
different needs, that there is room and a need for the full range of
technologies, old and new.
I question the experience of anyone who thinks that the most popular
desktop database in the world is going die out in the near future, or that
VBA is dead.
I question the experience of anyone that does not realize the potential in
learning and implementing the latest Microsoft's latest technologies, such
as .Net.
I know of some very high-end sophisticated work being built on Access, but
also of some very sophisticated clients who require the use of .Net for
product development.
And then there is Visual FoxPro which still has a good, dedicated
developers base. This is old technology that was suppose to die out years
ago. The most resent version (VFP 9) was just released, and includes new
reporting technology that is not even included in any of Microsoft's other
product lines. Go figure.
