I think it is important to understand that Access is so complex that nobody (that I know personally) knows it all. I am considered by some as a "senior" member (though they may just be discussing my age I guess?) but you notice that I am right here asking questions as well. Yea, I know a lot about Access and a lot about databases, but there is probably more that I don't know than that I know. AccessD has been my "Google of last resort" since 1997, and I contribute financially (see http://www.databaseadvisors.com/donations.asp to contribute any amount you wish) as well as with my knowledge whenever I can. If you are a nubee, please don't hesitate to speak up, ask your questions, and tell us how you solve your Access problems. John W.

With a couple of examples it was an easy sell. The reality is that this group is more valuable to me than the books/subscriptions of which I have many. Without help of this kind it is almost impossible to be a self taught lone-ranger developer. It took hanging out with you guys and absorbing the discussions before I was able to even understand what Getz was talking about in most of the ADH! My 2 cents. Jim Hale
