Hi David,
Thank you, we have a lot in common. Like so many that post here we love Access. I have never taken a college or university course for software development but I know how to dig up information and learn, a skill which was fine-tuned by tough professors in college and a master's degree program where if you did not document your information the prof was not happy! Writing articles helped me to be sure I had my facts straight because there are plenty of mostly good people that will quickly point out any errors or misinformation.
I have also learned a lot from visiting the MVP's sites.
My main school it this forum where I lurk and learn a lot. The professors here are just awesome!
I am one of only two *new* Access MVPs this year AFAIK. The rest have recieved the reward again this year. There are 76 Access MVPs listed on the web site, although there are many more in other categories. The award is given each year and there is no guarantee you will get it again so you have to keep doing good free things for the Access Community if you want to receive the award again.
Kind Regards,
Pat Wood, Access MVP
