It basically does all the same stuff and it would be lightning fast on modern machines. You don’t even need internet to use it.
- itomato 3y agoThank you. Yes, I could get ELT to accept a “RAD” Access app built and shipped during the time it takes to pitch to choose just the CRUD library or JS Framework alone.
- unnouinceput 3y agoNone's stopping you to use MSOffice '97. I still use it from time to time and current MSOffice is happily recognizing the format and converts it on the fly. Also there is a tool that you can install and see current formats to be able to open them in MSOffice '97. As for why the rest of the world why would do that or not, is their choice, no?

- postexitus 3y agoYou say 65k rows is enough for anyone?
- hermitdev 3y ago> why can’t we all go back to office 97? For one, because people want more than 65,536 rows in their spreadsheets. But, I'd largely agree that '97 was the pinnacle from a UI perspective. There are changes under the hood that are quite nice, though, especially with the move to xml persistence.
