Doing the funky Access interface magic is harder (CGI to the rescue :-) - but perhaps that's a good thing. I'm sure you've seen lots of Access databases that are rubbish or just plain broken. Wade.

Easy enough to build forms and write VB-ish code without having to code every.stinking.thing to make it do anything. Admittedly, I've had good success with Access (save v. 95 which sucked rocks, and v. 2000 whose "Help" system is absolutely atrocious). I mostly do 1-2 user things mostly geared toward data collection and tracking for research projects. It works well for that. And it has to be readily readable by SPSS and such.

God help us when the effects of "switch" are toted up.
