I have a problem though. I'm a hobbyist MSAccess user and a VB.net newbie. I am trying to decide whether to get into VB.net or not. In that I have the VB 2008 Express/SQL Compact Edn downloaded and I've played about a bit with these. Although they are full of good stuff to get you through, there's no way to 'do' Reports that I can see. What's the use of a database if you can't extract reports?! Unless I am missing something. If I am right, then shouldn't I just keep with Access?
