WTF is .Net 3.0 all about. Seems to be something to sit alongside .Net 2.0 not replace. Microsoft are f****n morons! Or I am

Yes it has! you can now have the backend tables/view/procs in sql server
and the front end in normal access, it's called ADP (Access Data Project)

It's faster development than traditional VB/SQL but not as fast or powerful as .NET 2.0

Import it into MS Access Pro, or SQL Server as it's commonly known.

I can import new data using the button he put on it and the data templates he gave me to use, but I now want to change some of the formatting and I can't! Pretty much all the options under 'File' 'Edit' 'Insert' etc are greyed out...

When I open the file, it doesn't come up with 'Read Only' or anything like that...what has he done and how???

I have literally pressed everything and just can't get inside the damn thing!

Help.....please....
