Being now retired and living on a decidedly limited pension, my contribution will be small compared to others', but at least it's > 0. Regarding the talk about the possibility that our site may have outlived its usefulness, I disagree. Granted, there is much less activity on the AccessD list than in previous years, but that IMO is no reason to kill the goose. Rather, I think there are two reasons for this: a) many of us have learned an enormous number of tricks and techniques for Access development, and no longer have to ask how to achieve something; and b) Access itself seems to have lost steam, and consequently many of us have moved on. However, the Hardware and Software Issues and the OT lists remain quite active. Perhaps a solution may lie in creating some new lists, that reflect the new directions we have taken. Some subjects that come to mind include Word and Excel, C#, JavaScript/jQuery, and general web development. As for me, I am concentrating my energies on Alpha Anywhere. I think not many of us have made that choice, for various reasons, but that might also serve as a way to attract new listers to join us. Any thoughts on this? Arthur
