>> Yes that's what I thought. Crappy and non-scalable. Of course Microsoft knew that so now there is Microsoft SQL I think. MSSQL really targets a different user base. Access is almost like single user while MSSQL is an enterprise level system. They just target different markets, really. >> It was a factor that GOT them on Windows and once in they were pretty well trapped in a world of shît, even if they never deployed it. I hear you but the argument just doesn't make a lot of sense. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I just though maybe you had some special knowledge and I can't say I really know why they didn't move it anyway. I can assure you if the ROI were there, MSFT would not be hesitant in moving it just because of its user base on Windows, because that user base is practically gone except for 10/15 year old apps.
