Gustav, I know all too well - In fact I'm looking at converting an Excel app to Access at the moment, it's all over the place and I'm not even sure I want to take it on. I might live off porridge and fresh air instead of taking on that job. Anita Smith DDi Solutions We Build Software!

The difference could be, that users in general believe they can handle Excel while it is opposite for Access. So maybe a user maintained Access application will receive a little more respect than an Excel workbook. /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Anita Smith Sendt: 6. december 2013 09:56 Til: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Emne: Re: [AccessD] Access 2010 + Navigation Forms Oh but Gustav, you are so upbeat It's hard for me to curb my enthusiasm ;-) " After some years it will end as an advanced Excel workbook where no one in the end knows why and how, nor by who it was created, and everything is a mess." Anita Smith Hi Charlotte At the contract I am working on we gave up on the Navigation form for reasons though not identical then similar, and decided to bite the bullet and use the ribbon. It allows you to move many of the buttons you otherwise have sitting here and there for various tasks to a well-known location with strict design and behaviour. /gustav -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
