[AccessD] field limit in forms

You laugh but I joke with people that Microsoft is my advertising agency.
They spend millions of dollars to convince Joe you know who that he can
design an access database.  He tries and gets just far enough to get a years
worth of data into a totally screwed up database and calls me.  All I have
to do is be Findable.  And of course convince Joe that a developer really is
worth $75 / hour.

And then developers get to make a living being on pooper scooper patrol.
The old saw is that an accountant is the guy who sweeps up after the
elephant has passed in the parade. To carry the analogy further I guess
developers have to sweep up after the incontinent elephants refuse to move
any further and the parade comes to a screeching halt. UH OH I just realized
I'm an accountant/developer. That explains a lot. Time to buy a new
umbrella...

Not really Arthur. :) Most of the people reading my stuff are just using

Access to get their work done without benefit of high-end development
solutions. :) They're not programmers or computer geeks -- they fall into
all industries and Access is just one of the tools they use.
