[AccessD] field limit in forms

It only works for amateurs who wow their colleagues with their
cleverness in building a database.  Real developers aren't supposed to
do it that way.  LOL

Sounds like she could give a course on how to train a user. jim

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"!
