DefendNet actually hired a full-time Business Applications guy to do 
Access, VB and Outlook Forms programming.  He worked on them for about 
6 months, got burned out, gave up, quit the company, and became a 
carpenter.  None of the partially developed apps ever got finished or 
used.  Meanwhile I did some back-end stuff with PHP and MySQL on a 
Linux box and accomplished at least my requirements (helpdesk software).
