Thanks for that. Sometimes it feels a little lonely out here. John W.

Personally, I have read and re-read your posts, which I have compiled into a single document that I keep adding to. As I learn more, I will add my notes to it. As to a framework, they are great. And, you do have the right idea. With all the so called developers that claim Access as a development tool, we need to distinguish ourselves from them with as wide a gap as possible. Extending the capabilities of Access is just one of the ways, we as PROFESSIONAL developers can do this. A good example of this is the C programmers that a company here in Houston hired to do Access development. A friend of mine spent the last 3+ months debugging what they had written. An example of the poor programming technique (no matter the language) was the calling of a function to see what the country they were operating in was between 20 and 30 times within a form instead of setting a variable on open of the program. The country did not change after opening the program. :-) Yet, they were offended by the changes that were suggested by the real Access professional, because of their superior programming knowledge since they were C programmers. And, one of their other problems was that she was a woman. They were not from this country.
