Well, I finally bit the bullet and closed my LinkedIn account. I joined several groups on database and programming-related topics and received about 100 spams per message of actual interest. There are several groups there devoted to Access, SQL and databases in general. Like a naive fool, I joined them all, and have discovered that they are almost nothing but vehicles for spam. I was tempted to post something there directing their members actually interested in such things to DatabaseAdvisors.com, but then figured that the spammers would soon follow suit and clog us, too, so I decided against it. Which in a way is unfortunate, because amongst the crap there, there are actually a few genuine people, and in particular, people who are relatively new to Access, Excel, SQL, etc. -- which, harking back to a previous thread, is just the sort of people we are looking for to join us. Anyway, Sayonara, LinkedIn. It's been a slice. Arthur
