All I can say is that despite being an Access Developer for coming on 25+ years, I didn't know this. That's why I love this list, and that's why, in the absence of other more skilled volunteers, I am happy to toss in my hat, and hopefully help to save this beloved place. Over the past several years, I have learned a ton about Access, and VBA programming in general. I have also made friends with a bunch of people, scattered around the world. And I take enormous pleasure in this. I'm just a guy in Toronto, but I have friends in Denmark, Holland, PNG, Austrailia, Norway, Germany, France, Spain and numerous other nations. This fact makes me feel Proud to be a member of this group. While not wanting to cut anyone's grass, I am willing to accept some responsibility for administering this list. I have some ideas about how we can make it better and more useful, and I would be very happy to pay-forward to this list. I won't bother to name names, but more than a few of you have made me a better programmer, and I thank you for the education. A.
