Oh yeah, that reminds me, at the last Access Users Group of San Diego, I did a coop presentation with two other folks about deploying run-times. As part of it I showed how to generate error handlers for every module - something you need in a run time deployment - not mine of course, but John Colby's. Put his name and web site up on the white board, of course. John - hope you got some action from that! I try to do a quickie presentation at the AUGSD meeting every month called Coder's Corner - a coding tip of some kind. And I always preface my tip by saying that it's not my work. Someone else showed me this and it's generally from AccessD. (I always tout AccessD every time I do a Coder's Corner). So I guess I second Martin - the list has made my business. Just this week, I got a couple of questions answered.
