I belong to that "silent majority",

The web based access has improved a lot, the first versions where almos useless.

I see your points. Seems IBM is giving us several choices for Access - the Web-based one has not got much traction, seems to me - no one talks about it much - maybe it's a silent majority.

The Java-based one just out is giving us the ability to run Access on multiple platforms - it is not dependent on the Windows OS. Being a tech preview, your comments can be useful to the developers.

Anyhow, those are some thoughts of an early Friday!

Vern,

Some might argue that anything you have to install on a system, even if
it's carry around on a stick, is not a replacement for a web based
solution. And I'm in their camp. I think of it more of a replacement for
iSeries Access for Windows with much of the functionality relying upon
whatever the hell the name is for the stuff available at port 2001. (can
we tinyurl that name?)
I'm not really impressed with it and I've been using it for quite some
time.
I am still trying to decide it's "market". Perhaps you hit it with the
carry on a stick consultant.
