We can do it off List if you want! <grin> Drew -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 11:09 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT: The Great Primary Debate Be VERY careful, Drew! Understanding them is one thing, agreeing with their use is something else and we *really* don't need another war at the moment. I don't have time to prove you wrong.
