[AccessD] field limit in forms

She must live in Fantasyland, the mythical world where uses do what you
want them too, not what they want to do....

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)
