Mike Gunderloy on "Fixing Access"

I first met Mike Gunderloy way back when, when we were both doing a fair amount of MS Access programming. At the time, it was a reasonable option for many smaller systems. We were both in a group that was then known as the Access Insiders. I still have a somewhat funky looking Access Insiders vest from those days.

Here Mike talks about the time when he was hired by a wealthy person to "fix" MS Access, including things like changing the table designer so that it would know that CustomerID was ment as an identity field (presumably by seeing the "ID" right after the table name).
