I must have joined in 1999 also. I know it was not long after I started my current job that I found the list through Dev Ashish's web site.

Hi all Ditto to Steve "1999. At that time the list being dominated by John Colby, Jurgen Welz, Lembit Soobik, William Hindman, Arthur Fuller, among others" Sometime in 1999 I think The list was 'hosted' somewhere else and then we 'became' AccessD after some hosting ructions Now...here we are - alive and kickin' I have said it before and I will say it again I could not have gone past a Simple Select query were it not for the people on this list (As well as the web pages of Gurus we all know so well) (I did everything and I mean everything in Macros) The willingness to share complex and very hard fought over code as well as a genuine desire to 'solve' or offer solutions to the myriad of issues that come up, is truly remarkable in this age of copyright, Intellectual property and all the rest of the commercial "protect thyne A**" world. Testimony to this list's generosity. I remember getting my first 'Browse' dialogue box to work WOW - it actually opened and returned a file name WOW I remember thinking I can interface with Windows - WooHoo - I showed my (Mostly unimpressed) Wife who went on muttering something about being a propeller-head. Go figure. She -the unimpressed -refers to you guys as "Your nerd mates on the List" :-)) (Love it) Not to mention the friendships - Even had a Mad Pommies and his charming and beautiful Wife come over to Oz. We hooked up and have dinner - with my Wife and I. (Hi Andy) Not to mention the people I harass on the phone - Hi Andy - Stuart - Kath et al Love this list See ya Darren -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Steve Capistrant Sent: Friday, 8 April 2005 8:03 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] RE: When did you arrive at AccessD?
