All of which is a long distance from my attempts today to evaluate Access 2013 as a drop-in replacement for gaffing around with MySQL (and especially the client). It's almost as if Microsoft don't actually want to sell software. All I wanted to do was download a trial version before buying, but could I do that without signing up for a Microsoft account? Could I hell as like.
I think that was a good choice. I'm usually a proponent of most of MS's software but Access hasn't been useful in years, if it ever was. I think I recall having success with it when I was really using ColdFusion a lot years ago. Recently I've not even been able to figure out how to use it! I was really beginning to think that I've hit that age where learning new things is hard and not worth the trouble but your post proves otherwise! Proves it I say!

I feel the same way but I fight it. I enjoy learning new things but it's taking longer and longer. The Dr. that delivered our first child told my wife "Always be learning!". He didn't realize that I was the one who was going to listen to him!
