You may think Microsoft Access is a thing of the past....but not totally, here's why. I know this might be somewhat controversial, but from my experience, Access is still a big part of the services I provide.
Access has been around since the early 90's. I've been using it, developing applications with it, supporting databases and training people on it since 1995. Don't mistake me, there are certainly things Access isn't a good fit for - which, if we're honest is true for ANY application. There are however too many currently used Access databases out there to ignore it.
