Snotty nosed nephew?????? Good thing you're ducking for cover....just out of curiousity, how did you know I have sinus problems! <grin> (Oh ya, I live in Texas, that sorta gives it away!<grin>) By the way, I'm soon to be on the 'author' list....I have three articles in the loop with Susan (and I am going to be working on the fourth this weekend....she's gonna have fun with that one! <grin>). Of course, I have NO idea when they'll be published..... Hope you're having a good one Uncle JC!

I have come further, faster, than would ever be possible without the list. In fact, truth be known, I'd be lost without it. Even as a pretty knowledgeable guy, I still have questions. Access is so complex that no one "knows it all". I remember my first job in Access. I came from programming, but it wasn't event driven. I was sooooo lost. I sold myself for well under 1/2 my normal wage because the company was willing to let me read and learn what I had to learn to do their database. 4 hours reading, 6-8 hours working, 6 days a week (the company's old db was dying a painful death). This was 1994 and there was no (widely available) internet, in fact not even an Access Users Group. I was one of the founding members and board member of the San Diego Access Users Group and loved having someplace I could go once a month to talk about Access. MAN, it was LONELY out there back then. This group becomes like a family. Kindly Grandmothers like Susan, demented cousins like William, snotty nosed nephews like Drew... well you get the picture. <ducking REAL low> Yea, life just wouldn't be the same without AccessD!

I have received much more from this list than I could ever offer (partly because the answers appear in my mailbox before my original posts). I consider ourselves fortunate to have such talented authors among our venerable list members. Charlotte and others - Don't stop writing!
