Yea, yea, yea.  I know all about it.  And of course it all makes sense when
the data is going out over the internet, but when there are a small number
of workstations on a LAN the argument is much less compelling.  And IF you
are going to do unbound stuff then Access may no longer be the optimum dev
environment.

John: 

It is on record now and will never be forgotten. Even M$ is moving all their
data processing to the disconnected data model. Mind you the locally held
data can be manipulated and bound but a reconnection must be made be the
source data can be updated.

Since when did you become an unbounder?  I'm a little shocked at that.  I
guess you finally came across to the dark side! ;)

>so the occasional bound/unbound, natural/surrogate key, and naming
convention argument are simply a way of maintaining our individuality in the
world of massive neuron flux.  ;)

No, unbound forms and surrogate keys are just superior.  ;-0  And of course
anyone who doesn't use a naming convention, specifically MY naming
convention is... a dolt.  <grin>

<grin>, I was hoping you were going to get a good chuckle out of that.
Personally, I think that is one of the main factors why this list puts out
good tips, and is so helpful to people.  It's the 'chest pounding' factor.
Whether we want to admit it or not, we'll fall all over each other trying to
help someone because we want to show off a bit.  This is one of the rare
parts of our lives where people actually CAN appreciate how brilliant we all
our.... ;)

I tried explaining a process I was working on involving custom events and
classes to a fellow computer geek, and I got the glassy eyed look of
complete confusion.  

So to everyone on the list, we're all geniuses....so pat someone on the back
when you can, and get ready to be patted yourself.  Yes, to the rest of the
world we're a bunch of 'nerds', but wear that label with pride. (a few
tattoos and a decent weight training program will keep most of the 'nerd'
remarks in check....) ;)

Just keep in mind that while we all like to impress with our ideas, genius
comes with a lot of prejudice, so the occasional bound/unbound,
natural/surrogate key, and naming convention argument are simply a way of
maintaining our individuality in the world of massive neuron flux.  ;)

That's easy, and requires no code or special hardware.  Just call up JC, and
tell him that you don't think his framework would hand XYZ...and let him
prove you wrong.  When he has given you proof, thank him, tell him he's
stellar, and a god among mortals, and walk away with completed JC Classes.

<grin>

Of course, the same method will work on me too....

Voice command app that would automatically write John Colby Classes and code
for you.
