Report Offensive Message

We are upgrading and I'm leading the charge
I work for a very large health insurance company and we are currently on Office 2007. However, Office 2010 will be available by the end of the Summer. As a Data Analyst I am looking forward to this as I Admin several large multiuser Access databases with users spread across the country in various offices as well as working from home. SharePoint 2010 with Access Services will allow me/us to move many of these apps to SharePoint where users will be able to interact with them via a browser. Don't tell me to move to SQL & .NET because as a non-IT employee those tools are not available to me. Our IT dept. doesn't support Access at all. They only want to rewrite everything into Oracle, DB2, or SQL with a .NET front end. That's great but most areas do not have the budget for that. Worst of all is then you lose control of your application. Want a new report ? Weeks....some new codes added...weeks....
Access web & hybrid databases are coming and I couldn't be happier.
