Ok.. So you disagree that Access is a low choice for web apps? > Access applications have a bad reputation, Gotcha.

Most of the arguments I have for not using access on any web app has nothing to do with the VB Scripting of said file. and you mentioning that accessing it through ODBC or JDBC is not an access application... So you are defeating your point at the top. There is very few reasons why you would want a Web App with Access. None of them that I can think of would be useful in a web app that is worked on by 2 or more people (which most web apps are). I really can't understand the "fanboy" attitude people have for access. There's so many things out there that are better. Heck, if Microsoft thought access was the end all, be all, we wouldn't have MS-SQL. If Microsoft won't stand behind their product as being a full database, then why do other people do ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
