I made a lot of money using Access as a backend with CF 1.5 - 3.1 in the old days. I agree 100% on the interface, they did a great job. I don't use it for the backend DBs now, but we really shouldn't hammer on older tech since that is where the ideas of our current systems were fleshed out. One of the best uses of the newest Access is to link to SQL Server tables for now technical people. I help some people get started who know little about relational databases and end up doing some fairly sophisticated things eventually. The SQL view really helps people learn to query databases. -- LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/a4/60 Twitter:  http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek Google+:  https://plus.google.com/117357905892731200369
