[AccessD] More hi-jinks

[Darryl Collins]

Hehe....  When I used to work in Media, there was an old saying along the lines of "Never work with Children or Animals". 

Database land isn't so different I have noticed. 

Cheers
Darryl

Gustav, I know you're right. I didn't really think this database would be simple -- I knew it would be big -- at least, multi-purpose, but everything relating back to the animals. However, I didn't anticipate the ... the problems. :) I really did believe I was looking at a bunch of easily related data, some data input forms, and some reports -- all easily wizard generated. :)

Silly me... ;)
