Hey guys,
I used to spend a lot of time here back in the early 2000s, so I thought I'd come back to ask for some direction from this fine group of hooligans. I currently work at a small analytical consulting firm with horrible methods of data storage. I'm in need of a good forum to ask assorted questions about Access, SQL, VBA, SPSS/SAS, etc. So mostly micro$oft products.. they're the most important at this point. My company is a technological dinosaur and I need some outside advice on moving them forward.

PS. On a less important note, anyone know how common it is for companies/individuals to use MSAccess to store and manipulate flat files, without any implementation of its relational db aspect? We receive data from multiple clients on a weekly basis (same files, structure differing between clients) and currently use access this way to store & manipulate the tables using vba.
PPS. If you think there's a place here at anandtech for this, let me know
