Aaron is dead from the neck up. He has been since birth.

I went round and round with Aaron on replication. He claims that
because the new file format doesn't support it that it's the same as
A2K7 not supporting it.

I told him he was an idiot.

Aaron's logic:

Because the accdb file format does not support replication, then replication
has been removed from A2007.

So, also by Aaron's logic:

Because the accdb file format does not support adp functionality, adp has
been removed from A2007.

But it's pointless to expect Aaron to understand reductio ad absurdum, he's
just too stupid.

Once again:
Access 2007 is compatible with previous versions of Access, and can be used
to create databases using the mdb file format. Such mdb databases can use
the features, including User Level security, found in databases created with
Access 2003 (and earlier versions, I expect, but I don't know the details).
Another way of looking at it is that Access 2007 can be made to act as if it
was Access 2003. In that sense it supports previous versions of Access. By
extension, it supports User Level Security.
The reasons Replication and User Level Security are not used in the new
Access file format have been discussed elsewhere, so I won't try to reprise
those discussions here. However, they are still around, and will be for
some time to come. They are not "dead", nor is Jet.

it's really simple math.

Access 2007 doesn't support 'User Level Security'.

Maybe I'm implying the word 'format' but I don't care
Jet and Replication and User Level Security are all dead; and they
have been for a decade

Something can work as intended and still become outdated. There are
countless examples of technologies that have been replaced by other
technologies. This does not mean the earlier versions had "bugs".

wow. so 'not providing much real security' is not a bug?

technically, replication and user level security were removed from
Access.

Sorry- but i won't let you spread misinformation.

IMHO, the best way to deal with trolls is a two-part strategy.



1. Ignore their standard rantings.

2. Step in when it is necessary to correct a misstatement that could
potentially mislead a novice poster.



While it is true that novice posters don't know a great deal about Access,
it is also true that most of them are smart enough to figure out quite
quickly , and on their own, who the trolls are.

This is incorrect. Only the ACCDB format lacks replication. MDB,
which is a native A2K7 format, completely supports replication.
Access 2007 doesn't support 'User Level Security'.

This is incorrect. Only the ACCDB format lacks user-level security.
MDB, which is a native A2K7 format, completely supports ULS.

There are so many things you don't care about, chief of them being
plain old accuracy and truth.

have been for a decade

Odd, given that MS put so much effort into vastly enhancing Jet
replication in Jet 4 (released to the public in Access 2000 in 1999)
if they thought Jet replication was dead.

You are so completely wrong on everything, Aaron.

Neither technically or otherwise were they removed from Access. Support was
not provided in one of the database file format options of Access 2007 -- the
ACCDB. Both are alive and well in Access 2007, which can, and often is used
to, generate MDB and MdE databases in which both are still supported.

You try really, really hard to spread misinformation. Let's get this
straight: it is not _mis_information you want to prevent, it is real,
accurate information because real, accurate information destroys your weak
arguments. You can protest that the truth is misinformation, but there will
be plenty to counter your claims with truth.

P.S. Mr George Hepworth, please spare us, we know your opinion on dealing
with stinking trolls, it doesn't work with this one -- he just continues to
stink up the place.

How stupid do you have to be to continue to make this claim, while Microsoft
just continues to enhance, derive from, and include Jet capability in every
Access release? Very, very stupid, aaron... that can also be said as "Very
Very Stupid Aaron" and still be correct.
www.microsoft.com/sql I mean-- SQL Server is
the worlds most popular database, straight from
the horses mouth

SQL Server may be the "world's most popular server database", but that might
be just marketing hype, too, considering the source is the home for promoting
MS SQL Server.

But, by any measure... number of installations, number of people creating
databases with it, or number of databases created with it, Access with
Jet/ACCDB is far more popular.


Uh, oh, you're giving him an edge. Going round and round may just make you
dizzy. aaron is used to that, because he's dizzy all the time... has been for
a decade, or two. (DECADE, get it aaron? one of 'em is TEN YEARS and two of
'em are TWENTY YEARS... how many YEARS could you have gotten for
cyberstalking if Daddy's expensive and clever attorney hadn't plea bargained
your punishment down?)

You are being overly generous in your assessment, Mr Fenton. He's not NEARLY
that intelligent, not NEARLY. But, hey, we know you are a generous person. :)

you really need me to find it in writing-- in a dozen different
places- that DAO and Jet are officially depecrated; and they have been
for a decade?

do you really believe this:

Jet/ACCDB is far more popular.


how about you go and count the # of jobs for 'microsoft access' vs the
number of jobs for 'sql server' and we'll trade notes, ok?

Oh wait a second-- jet wont' scale high enough to let you keep track
of that ROFL

Yes. Credible sources only. I can no doubt find it in writing in more than
a dozen places that the earth is flat, but I will not be convinced. Blog
rantings don't count.

Take as long as you need. A month or two would be good.

Don't matter what you "plead", fact is you were found guilty. This is a
matter of public record.

From the Oxford English Dictionary:

"Convict (v): Prove or find guilty"

"Conviction (n): Verdict of guilty".

You are a convicted criminal.
