What MS Access version to use?
Wow!
As an Access developer who works almost exclusively with ADPs and MSDE (I am a SQL Server Magazine Innovator award winner for 2003), and as someone who knows most of the Access MVPs personally, I have to say you are quite mistaken about most MVP's capabilities. Some of them do prefer Jet, for reasons of their own situation and requirements. While I do not prefer Jet, I still answer questions in this newsgroup, assuming the questions are mostly for Jet. It can be difficult to get some of the more complex solutions running. I have spoken with many of my MVP colleagues and encouraged their use of SQL Server. None of them lacks competence to do so, but they are using their best judgment in selecting Jet for their needs. I do not have the same needs, and am in no position to try to judge theirs. When they tell me that Jet is faster for their purposes, I take it with a grain of salt. I personally have performed some of the more difficult challenges I have faced using both Jet and SQL Server. In some cases, I have found that a SQL Server solution can be 500 times as fast when things get really difficult. I suggest that TSQL and VBA are not competing solutions for most purposes. But, yes, given those purposes for which either could be used, I'd choose SQL Server. So, if you're happy with this, I'm one who does promote the ADP as an excellent solution. For my development needs it is really indispensable. The MVPs I know have never even taken issue with my convictions on this. Given the same challenges, I believe most of them would soon see the need and would work with ADPs or with MDBs and pass-thru queries to MSDE. They are very good at making strategic decisions and adopting new technologies when warranted. They would argue that, in it's niche, MDBs and Jet do very well, indeed. I also agree with this. I'm not out to proselytize them, but I have made sure they understand an alternate viewpoint. This they have respected. As soon as they realized I wasn't out to act superior and denegrate what they do, everything has been fine. As has been said, you catch more flies with honey. Please give it a try!
