I disagree, you try running Oracle JDeveloper with Oracle 8i under W2K on a 300MHZ Pentium II with 114Mb of RAM. It's painful. And yes, I know I could probably do it in Linux on a 16MHZ 386SX wity 32 bytes of RAM but that is not what my clients use.
I'm an analyst, not a professional programmer, and I found the ease of VbA, coupled with the fact that my company already owns it and therefore doesn't need to pay for another ERP frontend, more than makes up for the bugs and wierd behaviour in Access. I used to as a front end to an Oracle database so that managers could easily access reports. It works well after 3 years and cost nothing. If you only have a handful of users (20)it's miles ahead of anything else. And VBA is fun and makes you feel like a real programmer !!
You would proabably start with a key command, like computer..play Nothing Compares 2 U. Gotta say, great idea but $600 is just too much to replace a perfectly good CD player.
Yep, and the USA could always re-introduce slavery. Do you have enough cotton fields? My point being that history should not be used as a tool of attack unless the person you are attacking was personally responsible for some aspect.
Gee, that's a bit harsh, especially considering that Thomas Jeffersons' definition of freedom included the freedom to own slaves. Wayne McDermott Australia
Wow, you mean I'm not the only one who is having trouble with Mandrake ? I've gone back to Suisse 6.1 cos I couldn't figure out how to get the desktop to fill the whole screen, sax lets you set the horizontal frequency manually.
I tried to look at your database driven website, unfortunately you have chosen to refuse entry to any but netscape users. Isn't that somewhat extreme? I understand your point about the marketing tactics of Microsoft but I am also becoming very concerned about the zealotry being displayed by a segment of the Linux camp that I fear does more damage than good. The bottom line of course is that it is your website.

I agree, I got around the wierd ODbC behaviour by downloading the oracle tables into Access nightly and having the frontend use that.

Of course Jeffersons'definition of freedom included the freedom to own slaves. I've seen this quote often abused.
I think he is pulling your leg. Or jerking your chain, or taking the piss. Whatever the American colloquial is. :-)
