Application Packaging was in my past; can confirm the disdain for Access. There was a definite gap in IT Support though. Upon upgrading from Windows XP, Access was removed from the environment AND existing access databases were shoved into a database farm. But any new business needs for something similar IE "Hey IT, we want a little app just to store XYZ business info" fell on deaf ears - the response was always "Hire IT Company to build it and hand it over." which of course would cost tens of thousands rather than a handful and thus priced it out of existence. Which meant of course the business people started finding solutions OUTSIDE of IT Support purview....
