Well you have baited me/us so I will take the bait Tony, although you have put that chip on your shoulder before daring people to knock it off for you... I hate to waste good bait, even if it is yours. First I dis not mean to insult you, I was being clever. Maybe too clever by half. I BEG YOUR PARDON! I will also add that hardware is important to getting work done, as are all things twxhnologulical. Now, don't tell me that you really hung in there for 50 or so posts on a single thread which BEGAN with an OT kind of subject (and no one changed that subject TG so all posts stayed in my inbox grouped in the same conversation)... only to kick us now? ;) Don't look for insult where none is meant. Also, last I checked, you can't get much done with Access when you can't get much work done at all. AND THAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE IGNORE TECH. Good night all!
