Hey! Thanks ^^ I actually didn't leave but mainly had no interesting article idea + very little time ^^.
So you need to rewrite their application as well? I suppose they used the access forms ?
I realised that data is not the problem, we have powerful tools to handle it. But re-write everything can be a pain in the a**. Visual Basic 5 & 6 where awesome for forms applications: no troubles for the UI, direct code access & declaration for buttons and UI elements, neat code completion... But it seems it was awful to maintain when the project reached a certain size and lots of Devs hated the syntax.
Concerning Rising star... Same here !! How many time did a completely forgot to check-in in order to launch a new mission !?! 3 missions a day + one or two lessons is the maximum I can handle!
