Probably.  Remember that Access itself has changed quite a bit over the
versions.  New features and functions were introduced, so it became
easier to do some things that had previously required draconian
workarounds.

1998 was my first Access project as well.  As fate would have it, I'm
back with that same client revamping/rewriting a signifigant portion of
this system - mainly because someone else came behind me to 'improve' it
and didn't finish the job.

As I go through the spaghetti code and disasterous form design I keep
thinking "who PROGRAMMED this mess!?!?"

Then I realize it was me (heh).

I wonder - 5 years from now will I return to this same client and think
the same thing??

WOW! 1998, I can't believe it has been that long. I still feel so
inexperienced. Have you ever gone back and looked at something you did
when you first started - you think - I can't believe I did that! I
remember printing the screen for reports & had the navigation buttons
showing on the form when printed.

Oh, hey, it has been more than a tiny part - I would say all of it! I
can honestly say I never would have been able to do anything without
everyone's help & patience.

Just curious - what was my first question?

You are very welcome! Maybe we all added a tiny tiny part to your
success (nice thought anyway)? In my nicely cleaned archive I located
more than 100 messages addressed to you from numerous list members - the
first message, by coincident, from myself in October 1998 in the days of
the old list of MT Group!
