Seen this from Mike?

I do think we should be pushing back here, else the future for Access looks bleak and empty.

Thanks for the prompt. I'd already made a response by another method but have now posted a response to the above link

Cheers Colin, well said. Perhaps MS need reminding of those fab infographics you shared here.

Thats a good excuse to post a link to those infographics once more

Feast your eyes on three Microsoft Access infographics

While I feel the pain of the MS Access team here, it is quite frustrating to have this public face so unhelpful.

In some ways, it's "Damned if you do, and damned if you don't". They get slammed for posting unrealistic or unmet timelines, and they get slammed for not posting until they can be sure they have realistic and achievable objectives.

True. However, the question is whether the new approach is better or worse ....

That's the way they make a lot of their decisions. People complained about the security component of pre-2007 access. It was really confusing and so people frequently set it up wrong. No one said it was bad. So rather than fix the interface, they canned the feature.
