Hiya Walter ---

Just went and read the "article" there. Whew! The only thing that makes me a bit less angry about it is that this is the product of a consulting company, it appears...they make pitches about calling them to "consult about options"...hmm, OK, so let's put the right face on this: It's the standard marketing pitch used by any VB/Access centric developers shop put to writing.

I am tempted to write a reply but I'm holding back because it'd do no good...they are trying to sell a skillset by bad-mouthing a tool for which, apparently, they do not wish to engage in or have the skills for.

What I am going to do is forward this link to rgreen@microsoft.com and, hopefully, he can get MS (which -Megabase- relies on, apparently) to send them a request to remove that page or some sort of rebuke.
