I'm here to point out the shortcomings of DVDP, which should be obvious.

Obvious to who?  I bought a product that had a specific feature set that matched my needs.  Guess what.... that feature set still meets my needs and I don't have an any unfilled requirements.

You claim there are short comings but that would be from your perspective and your requirements.  That is not the case with myself or I would guess (I will not claim to know) also the case with many here.

I understand that you people are not liking the fact that I'm the bearer of bad news, but look around; I'm speaking the truth here.

It appears more like you are saying what you want/think and are upset that people do not agree fully with you.

Again, WHY strain yourself to come up with these LAME attempts in speculating why I'm doing what I'm doing instead of focusing on the subject at hand, which is the increasingly outdatedness of DVDP?  You like using the product, fine.  But for how long??  The forum is dying and new customers are non-existent.  How long realistically do you think Ken can keep this up before you people start to realize that if the product stays unchanged it will be useful to fewer and fewer people until Ken can no longer support it?  I am the evidence of someone who was once a fan of the product but no longer uses it, and I'm sure there are other people like me.

I have gigs upon gigs of cloud storage available to me and I haven't use a single byte.  I much prefer all my data, documents, pictures, etc. to be under my control.

Microsoft also secretly offers its industrial-strength SQL Server FOR FREE as well,

Secretly?? "industrial-strength"      It's Express version of real SQL.

the only catch being the 4-gigabyte size limit, which regular folks will never exceed anyway."

You don't see max. 25 db connections as a catch?

Can you actually USE the product first before saying anything so you would sound less of an idiot?  I've been using it for 10 years now.  For companies with fewer than 25 employess (and that's true for MANY companies), that's more than adequate.

You're funny, I have not much more to say. I wish nothing but the best for your Access experiments. Maybe in next course they will tell you some downsides of clouds. Good luck with your studies.

You may, or may not be right here,
the fact remains that in your initial all you did was claiming how bad and outdated DVDProfiler is.

I mentioned this in an old thread about 2 years ago, where I said DVDP's inadequacies caused me to take matters into my own hands by creating my own movie database. 

And that I did.  Here are some sample pages of my database that you can check out by logging on
[...]
All these reasons are why I took matters into my own hand.  I can design my database in any way I want (including allowing Unicode characters) and access it online as well.

No word how Ken could improve the product, just one big advertisement for your product (which seems to be in a very early pre-alpha status).
And guess what, the remaining users of DVDProfiler are NOT impressed by your idea.
I'm quite sure that calling potential, even though somewhat skeptic, customers idiots or simpletons wasn't the best advertisement strategy either.

Maybe you should post your "ideas" in the forums of a company where you can find those users that are no longer using DVDProfiler. I suggest to try Collectorz and MyMovies.
Just be so kind to report back how long it took until your posts got removed.

25 employees equals 25 DB connections? 

And here I thought you wanted to actually sell the product and use it in a cloud with hundreds if not thousands of simultaneous user access...

He doesn't have a clue... I believe that SQL Enterprise clusters a bit out of his price range.

I know we disagree sometimes but I have a high respect for your knowledge and skills, but THAT was the über complement of the year, very early pre-alpha

You mean imdb? In this case they would laugh just like us.
