The pain of a wrong decision

Here I'm proudly present to you my pain of a wrong decision, MS.Access.

It's the "Focus"!
Most VB or Access programmers would know what I mean here. If you use Got_Focus and Lost_Focus a lot, you will end up losing control of the flow as the code grows larger. The most painful headache we had was in the receipt form where we were trying to sync between Riel and US Dollar.

No OO.
If you are happy with the benefit of Object Oriented, you will cry with Access(2003). No encapsulation, no code reduce, no inheritance, no polymorphisms, and the list goes on. When our project grows to a certain point, we started to feel the beginning of the hell where code disorders is the curse.

We wished we had chosen the OO language such as VB.Net or Java.
