[AccessD] Subdatasheet vs. Relationships?

All,

My skin must be a little thin today.  I realize the truth in what's been
said, but my comments were more in defense for the "little guy".  Based on
the fact that this database was 'inherited' at all says that the "developer"
was in fact providing some value with his solution and that it was meeting
the requirements of the time...or at least meeting what requirements he was
capable of providing.  To discount that person's efforts so callously was,
IMO, arrogant.  I stand by that assertion.

Despite my earlier mailing I have to concur. Relationship definitions are
Everything in a db design, IMO (well, assuming PKs etc.).

Mark,

If the developer didn't use relationships and instead used subdatasheets,
then I contend that they do not know about database design.  A person that
understands database design would set up relationships.  They may also use
subdatasheets, but that is not the point.
