I can' think of many other MS products that have gotten the

like Foxpro. Kind of sad, actually.

I forgot about filemaker--we have one database that uses an ancient
version of Filemaker, and it's a really well designed app.
Unfortunately, due to the age of the app (and the ... computer
difficulties ... of some of the users) the data has kind of melted
down with weird problems..
Have to agree on Foxpro--I think I used it before MS owned it, and
IIRC I wrote my first database app in it. Nice program.
