I was toying with a date option, but I dropped it since the 'live' archives (on the dba site) can be used to view everything by date (I think). Thanks for the compliment. I really enjoyed thinking out of the box on this one. My motto is, if it can be done, it can be done with the tools you have! <grin> Drew -----Original Message----- From: Francisco H Tapia [mailto:my.lists at verizon.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 12:00 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] AccessD Archives are UP! Who says Access can't be used for mission critical ;o) <oops, let's not start that back up again>. I found your behinds the scenes link very informative. This of course is also very interesting. You've taken an otherwise weak point of access (memo's) and leveraged Access's strength in indexes. Very commendable and ingenious... One (me) might pose the question why do it in Access vs. MSDE or mySQL, but a good answer comes to mind <because you can> :o). Often times there are solutions right under our nose that we overlook, but this is just a great example of thinking outside the box... great job... btw, I would have liked a date restricting function (for the actual dates) but since everything is displayed ascending or descending by date, this point is rather moot. :o) -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com On Tuesday, April 08, 2003 9:43 AM [GMT-8], Drew Wutka <DWUTKA at marlow.com> wrote: : You're welcome.
