Hi,

Having obtained a good skill level in Excel & Excel VBA, and adequate ADO and SQL, I'm wondering what would be a useful next step.

I can imagine getting into MS Access or other databases - but don't know which. Though I am not targeting that route, I can see it as a likely possibility - it does not particularly excite me though. Whereas using Excel & Excel VBA is enjoyable and likely to remain fundamental to my computer usage for some time yet.

My main interest is in keeping up with technology - such as if there is a new direction in programming - and developing my skills for working with medium to large amounts of data. At one level I can imagine working more with Excel & Access together to solve tasks but I'm thinking this would be not too new or interesting and that I'd want to take a bigger step.

Would appreciate comments. Regards, Fazza
