[AccessD] field limit in forms

I am actually trying to do this with a local "developer" right now. She
wrote and maintains an access application and "database" for one of my
clients. I don't want to take work from her so I just encourage her to join
this list to get some tips.

What she actually needs to do is learn how to set up a database. The BE is
horrendous. The FE is slow and unwieldy. But she understands the job
processes/work flow and so she has pieced together something that works.
Just doesn't work well from a technological view. 

On the positive side of it: I'm always amazed when I watch the users with
it. They'll say "well, I have to do this now, I don't know why, but I do".
She has them very well trained to do things in a particular way so they
don't cause problems that she apparently doesn't know how to code for. I
could use some end users like that!

So, although I don't have to with this group, you're all very patient and
helpful, I implore you all to be nice to newbies :o)

ROTFL.  Now now Arthur!  We all start somewhere and most of us made some
pretty horrendous decisions before learning the "better" way.

Perhaps the best advice you could give Susan is "Join AccessD"!
