>>Access is an end-user tool, not a development tool. I've pointed out historically why this may be the case. Again, it's my speculation and mine alone.

Simply because it's in the Office box. If it were a stand-alone product, I might feel differently. One could consider it as both, as long as you didn't ask it to do any "heavy lifting".< s >
