Hi Terry and Steve,

I agree with both of you that there are definate advantages with access report ease of use etc. The first SQL I wrote was in Access (which I guess is true of many people)

The only thing really to say is that we have written applications in access before but time and time again all of our developers have come back to using EM to do all the database work and then using and adp/ade to give people the application.

But I do see that giving out an ADE is much quicker and easier that develping something in visual studio and releasing it (For example).
