Right, right. You seem to have gained a wealth of practical experience in your career. Mine's only just begun! (I've had jobs before, and good ones, but never a career until quite recently.)
See, I was curious about the mathematical component of Access because my client wants a running total of debits/credits for this Accounts form (in my WakesDB), which he says is "standard accounting practice." But there's no running total field on the account slips he fills in, day in and day out, at the music store. A friend who works in IT has urged me to negotiate (or, "argue about") this new requirement. Fortunately, I got my client to sign off on a contract of sorts stipulating that any new requirements not previously specified would incur additional costs.
The "IT friend" I've mentioned told me that I should ask for so much more money to implement this requirement that he won't want me to do it. Tell me, is this standard practice for developers or not? Sounds quite reasonable to me! Anyway, soon the database will be ready to use and I will get paid, no two ways about it.
(Yes, I solved the problem that certain of you [not to name names] couldn't fix, the problem where all the orders were showing up at once.)
