Future version of Access

[WindSailor]

When will Access support the .Net framework?

Will Microsoft ever consider making another RAD program similar to Access that supports the .Net framework?

Just think of an IDE of a RAD program similar to Access that has a full set of toolbox items already built in .Net that supports all of the functions / options that Access currently supports in its forms, reporting etc. and have the ability to interface with all of the .Net database engines...

Very true.

It is very interesting to say the least to either be in a meeting or discussion between workers / operators and programmers; and have the programmers say they can't do this or can't do that... and the program eventually goes or develops to the programmers guidelines instead of the people who work and use it...

And yes, I have always gone with the concept of simplify, simplify, simplify.

It has been a question of whether Office would migrate to .Net or not. And I guess I should have regarded the Access team acquiring JET for their own purposes a pretty definitive answer.

Just kicking around the idea of a RAD .Net front end database program.
