Right now, no, but its something that will come in time. Its something both we and Runtime need to implement. > Went Access ever some thing else than a poor and unreliable > way to store data ?

Using Access for anything other than a simple desktop type db never would have occurred to me either, but a lot of folks will build custom front ends with its built in script or VB, or even try to share it on a network or server. In fact, a friend of mine in the federal government (USA) told me about several projects that cost millions of dollars in labor, but in fact were very simple VB + Access projects. I am sometimes shocked by some of the questions we get from developers who want to implement a structure that dramatically increases the chance of data corruption, often to shave a very few bucks off a project in license fees or shave off a few hours of work.
