Well, if you ever used Sql server, Or Oracle, or MySql, or Sybase, then you
will be equally disappointed with pocket access.
In all of the above cases, we are talking about database systems. You can
use sql-server to store data, but sql server, or Oracle, or MySql or any
database engine DOES NOT have any ability to build forms, or reports.
You can't built a form with Oracle, and you can't build a form with
sql-server. You can't build a form with MySql, and you can't build a form
with pocket access.
So, access really is just a condutit, and you have to use embedded visual
basic to build any forms etc, or use any of the data that is sent to the
pock access.
So, really, while most, if not all mainstream database systems do not let
you make forms, reports etc, using the pocket access "name" is kind of a
poor choice. And, as far as I know..the product name has been dropped. (it
should have been called pocket sql server).
Anyway..there is number of good alternatives
