A2007 ADPs

re:

ADP has been cancelled because it offers no real advantage over MDB file but
this conclusion is not based on performance but on functionality. The
capabilities of ADP are so closely related to MDB that if you cannot do it
with MDB, chances are high that you cannot do it with ADP either. When you
take into account the vast amount of money invested by MS into the .NET
technologies, the slight gain of speed or the easier communications with SP
that you get using ADP is not sufficient to justify the continuous supports
by MS of three different methods to work against a SQL-Server database. The
ratio costs/benefices is simply just not there to justify the presence of an
intermediate solution between the two others.


YES IT IS WORTH IT-- MICROSOFT IS LOSING THE DATABASE WAR BECAUSE THEY DO
NOT COMMIT ENOUGH RESOURCES

this prejudice against Access is valid

it is a CRAP database!

ROFL

I LOVE THIS: 'breaks the too complex query rule '




That is why I gave up on Access

Yet another Aaron Kempf post, masquerading as someone else. <sigh> I
suppose it's fortunate for us that he's not too bright and it took him this
long to clue in to changing identities...I just wish there was some way we
could make him unlearn it.

and what all three formats have in common.. is that they're all obsolete
in favor of ADP

Vayse,

The only performance problems I have experienced so far are during
application startup and shutdown (as in SLOW) even with the hotfix.

Once the application is up and running it appears to work as in prior
versions of Access, although, I have yet to do exhastive testing yet
because I am still in the process of migrating and adding those A2007
features supported by an ADP.

Having said this... from my current experience why upgrade, other than at
some stage we have to (or rewrite the application in another language)
when many of the cool new features in A2007 don't appear to be supported
for ADPs and the Ribbon (like the idea) but I've said enough on this
already in other Access postings.

Cheers
Guy
