I often have those type of conversations with VB/Access programmers, although they're more like
them: Access can do
me: Ok, Fox was doing that in '91
them: Access can do
me: Great, Fox was doing that in '88
them: Access can handle a 40,000 record file!
me: Goody! When I need to work with a system that small, I might consider Access. Although why I would want to add another layer of complexity with the interface between VB and Access when Fox gives it to me in one package......
