Of the "10 ways to prevent corruption" (link below) one is about Macs - or rather the people handling them. This has been brought to a Mac OS forum by some innocent curious person resulting in close to zero useful comments but a lot of the usual Access bashing by anonymous commenteers clearly not having any true idea of what Access (JET) is all about. I commented on this and ... you can imagine: http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=299674&goto=newpost Luckily - as you all know - some bright Mac people do exist (they are seldom there when we need them at clients), and a couple stepped in bringing the thread to a serious level. For those of you working with Access in a mixed environment, some tips may be of value. Even better, contribute if you feel so. Just remember to tip-toe and weigh your wordings ... it is like being in the lions' cave - and none of the lions is you! /gustav >>> ssharkins at gmail.com 09-04-2008 19:29 >>> http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/10things/?p=331 ======Gustav wrote an article on Access corruption for TR -- it's making a few people pull hairs and trade insults. After reading the article, be sure to check out the comments -- some of these folks really have too much time on their hands. :) Susan H. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
