Re: [TCLUG:15227] <OT> M$ Access rant and bug warning

Ultraedit is one of the coolest programmer's editors I've ever seen. 
(www.ultraedit.com) by Ian Mead.  It's got all sorts of cool
whoop-de-shit like column select (instead of having to select a whole
line, you can select blocks of characters that aren't necessarily 80
chars long or whatever), global search and replace across entire
directories, etc.

Yes, I've seen some of this wierdness with Access.  Dissappearing
records, etc.  That's why Microsoft says it shouldn't be used for the
backend to web-databases (in RE: to ColdFusion/ASP/WebPlus/whatever).
