Wonderful story Bill. Unfortunately my Access competency wasn't up to speed back in the day for the work I did here so I didn't know better. Now I look at the stuff that I was complicit in in my ignorance and hope for the day when we can convert systems without such a wide impact.
I'm cleaning as I go, and I've got a new assistant here (Sheila) helping me out.
We're also moving towards getting the systems to formats where corporate IT will endorse and support since they "don't support Access."
J which is good for me cause I get to learn new skills. Studying ASP.Net technologies now.

Probably every Access developer has had her share of inherited, badly designed databases. When I was an independent contractor I got tons of those. Lots of potential clients did not want to hear that I'd have to start from scratch. They thought I was trying to rip them off. Truth be told, when they insisted I modify their existing mess I politely declined. When the next 2 or 3 contractors told them the same thing I usually got called back because I was the lowest bidder. So I always loved inheriting those nightmares.

I didn't read all of this, but man can I identify with this. I inherited stuff that has come in very unnormalized and now too many processes and other links run off of them. I'm hoping that assistance and future conversions will eliminate the bad design of some of the stuff I deal with.
