[AccessD] AXP and Error 3310

LOL ... Like the current "Reserved Error" message from Microsoft, you
mean?  I liked the way MS Multiplan handled it.  When it couldn't match
an error with a message, it just gave you the last error in the list,
whether it applied or not!

I must be on a nostalgia kick today. The first compiler I learned to use
was from Digital Research and was called CB-80. It was a BASIC compiler.
I still remember my favourite error message:

"An error has been detected for which there is no error message."

Stuff like that makes MS-Help look eloquent. See? It's all a question of
context. I remember some C/PM programs that actually expected their
users to be able to enter Hex numbers!

One night long ago, I had a dream in which I FINALLY figured out how to
translate decimal into hex and vice-versa, in my head. My then-wife told
me about it next morning. Apparently, I awoke suddenly, sat bolt upright
and said, "Yes! 16 times 4 is 64! Now I get it!" and promptly fell back
asleep. She left me shortly thereafter.

P.S. 
This has happened more than once. I have a dream that solves some
programming problem, and soon afterwards my significant woman departs :)

Of course it doesn't....that would make life too easy! LOL.  I love
getting error messages that are so vague they let to spin your wheels
for a few days before you accidentally trip over the solution!  

Gotta love it!
