MY current client and I have built their database using Oracle and Access. It used to be all in Access...but we quickly ran into the multiple concurrent users issues...and the LAN used to be Token ring (eek!) which did help.Originally posted by chef View PostMS Access.. oh those were the days, does anyone actually use this to build new dbs?
Now that things are moving over to India (weep), those lads are trying to decifer the strange coding and ever weirder table and view names. Oh well good luck to them.

Has anyone ever seen that working? On three ClientCo sites they've had a partial or broken SharePoint system in place that nobody could make use of. As far as I can make out (from the fragments of functionality that did something, intermittently, on one site), it is like Pretty Windows Explorer for Particularly Thick Numpties.Originally posted by Weltchy View PostSharePointMy all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Mate and I went on a SharePoint MCTS course in Goa. Since we got back, we've implemented a few decent sharepoint sites, the client we both work at is screaming for SharePoint implementations to do all sorts of things.
