Hi John: Completely off topic but it is Friday the thirteenth. An educated friend of ours had just completed a Masters in Child Psychology and had subsequently been instructing us and her other friends on the proper methods of managing children. Our children, were then young and were proving very difficult to manage (unlike their parents.) She was sure she could get them in line within a couple of weeks, if given the opportunity. She had her first son and he was unstoppable. All of us quietly mused, that there was justice in the universe. I remember her saying to me, when I had appears to be about to say something, at her sister-in-laws wedding reception, in which her son was racing around unfettered and she having collapsed in the adjacent chair..."Don't say anything! I have been eating crow for the last six months." My point is: No amount of preparation or education can allow you to win control of a 'force of nature'. ...and further more... A compromise can not be won against those who's creed is 'Death before Dishonor'. True stubbornness can not be resolved by tact or diplomacy. (It can not be resolved by anything for that matter.) ...and that is my rambling opinions.

I'm reading a book called 123 magic to teach parents a method of establishing discipline for small children (ages 2 to 12 - my 3+ year old in this case). The theory behind the book is that the child will do ANYTHING to get a reaction of any kind, for the simple reason that it gives them a feeling of power when they are really pretty much powerless. Any time you argue with the child, the argument can not be won simply because the POINT of the argument is not winning or losing, being right or being wrong, learning something new etc. but just that the argument itself gives a feeling of power. They are causing something to happen. An interesting perspective.

If FirstName is a class, then that statement is invalid. But you can't tell by looking at it, now can you? Are you suggesting that you look at the way something is used in code to determine what kind of thing it is? You DO turn on Option Explicit don't you?? Have you have *NEVER* typed something like Set Whatever = 5 or Frm = Forms!MyForm Charlotte Foust -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
