Hi Martin: Can't spell?...your profession but be either that of a Doctor or a programmer...it comes with the territory. Never leave home without that spell checker. ;-) So what is your latest book? Have any of your kids followed you into this noble profession? Oh, yes I have to either ask or present an Access question... Is there any versions of Access that I can not run on Linux because they all seem to do so but I just have not testing all of them extensively?

I hope Access D never changes. Without it I would not be doing what I do now. I no longer work with Access but what I learnt here and especially the people I met here give me the skills and knowledge to push ahead. I have done things in the many years I have been a member and been places I never thought I would see and most of it is based around the foundation and the people of this group. Has Access died, certainly for me other than a reporting tool for SharePoint. Is MS focus of the desktop, based on my knowledge and meetings here with them I would say the web is everything now. Is AccessD dead, I don't think the spirit of AccessD will ever be. AccessD to me is the people here. Not the posts or the perceived lack of quality of the post, it's the friends I have made, the people I met and the help and experience I have received. Today I am heading up Business Services at Queens University one of the top Universitirs in the UK, I have written several books, I have learnt about life, programming and other things on AccessD from those involved. I have made lifelong friends here. AccessD and the people involved is something that has touched and in many cases changed lives, I know because it changed mine. Still cant spell worth S%^t but who cares!! Martin -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
