[AccessD] Judging whether a table is "used"

  I'm with Charlotte on this one.  I've always viewed FMS products as having
a lot of "fluff" and not so much meat.

  They are however quality products and do work very well. But as Charlotte
has said, there is nothing magical in what they do and nothing you could not
do on your own given the time.  Their also pricey.

<<Well then when I get a chance to see the interface, I might buy it also
... because I am not really in love with Rick's.>>

  Curious what you don't like in Rick's utility.  Been around for years and
is the lone survivor (Speed Ferret bit the dust a long time ago).

  In terms of find and replace, it has everything you need, plus a cross
reference utility that many don't even know exists.  If I'd fault him on
anything, it would be that he doesn't make that feature very obvious.

Jim.

I hate the FMS products.  They're nothing you couldn't build for yourself
and do a better job.  They give you reams of information but not really
anything useful IMO. Pure prejudice, but I have used them and didn't like
them at all.  There are free or low price tools that are better value and
give more of what you really need.
