Hi Mark
At my second IT job, which became my career until retirement, I was told, "We don't support Access. You will just fix this one database and then move on to SQL Server support." I became the in-house software developer for over 100 new Access applications for the company. "don't support Access" indeed.!!!

All,
Crystal, and all,
In addition to wishing you all a Happy New Year, I'd also like to take a quick look back and ask "can you BELIEVE that we're still building solutions with Microsoft Access after 3+ decades amidst this IT maelstrom of continuous innovation and change?" I mean, MS-Access hit such a sweet spot of functionality and capability for the business world...and there are STILL legions of those who can't appreciate this particular Golden Goose for what it is.
There will one day be written a History of this Early IT age, and one chapter of that history will carry a title something like "...and then there was Microsoft Access..." ...and some of You will have played a part in that chapter of history.
