Hey John Over the years you haven't changed. LOL. An answer to a question is better than nothing.............. Someone needed help and they got a response that wasn't forth coming. For heavens sake lets not mix apples and oranges I am not responding to everyone "off-line". This list is terrific, with individuals that absolutely "blow me away" in their knowledge of Access (and I know this response will p... you off, I have seen it so many times in the past). You are a generous person in providing your views and solutions, but sometimes you just miss the point.

That is the entire point of the list, that everyone gets to see every answer. I know that I don't answer many questions any more. When I joined the list somewhere around 97 or so, I was trying to "make a name" and so I answered a lot, and I was also learning a lot. Now I tend to send answers to my own questions where I have had to research obscure things. Others who have less time on the list can answer the "how do I" questions that I have already answered a hundred times in the last 15 years. Now if you want to know how to do classes, or handle events, or build a framework, start a thread and I will be there. Or bind an Access FE to a SQL Server database over the internet using Hamachi.
