Well, for me, that is it..."it ain't broke, so don't fix it."
I use a program that allows Singer's to search and submit their songs via Computer Terminals through a network. I do not use PRINTED Song Lists (aka SongBooks) or Song Slips anymore. This program grabs all the Artist and Title info straight from the SONGS.MDB, which is based on Access97. If Hoster changes, I could be dead in the water if the other software doesn't know what to do with a later version of Access.
Unlike Printed Books, where one may reprint them once a year, I can UPDATE my COMPLETE listing in my "CYBER Books," at any time, which may include changes to Current info. This means that I may have DAILY interaction with my DB, such as finding a Misspelled and/or Duplicate Entry, correcting it/them Immediately, and Transferring the Updated DB to the "Cyber" Computers for Immediate use.
If I were still using Printed Song Lists, an MTU "ACCESS" upgrade may not affect me for several months.
