   Well, never say "naturally" - what's in v9.10 might not
   be in v9.11  :-)  However LibreOffice IS a great suite
   regardless.

   Python is very good - and maybe less BS than VBA.
   VBA did cover it all ... but it got kinda ugly.

   ANYway ... the most common subthread here is whether
   Access is still worth it. IMHO, yes. More than enough
   power/capability for a LOT of small biz/etc needs and
   the price is fair and the product is WELL-refined by
   now. LibreOffice is also good - and cheaper - but I've
   never used it for extensive DB development so I can't
   say if it's equally capable.
