Pete, only 20 forms? I have half that number of full-page maps now. The maps show food recalls, Covid trends, and state tax policies. You'll have to tell me how you can get more than 80 domains onto just 20 forms/reports. Can you show me a couple of health data forms, say for managing...

Yes, arnelgp. That's a small number for me, but Pete states that he can reduce it to 20 forms. I just counted the number of domains and there are more than 84. I just don't see how it can be done considering that I have ten personalities, three races, and three generations of users in five...

Yesterday was an interesting and very good day for me. I went to the library with two of my grandsons where I read the current edition of the Kiplinger Personal Financial magazine. I found an article with a map showing states with no state tax. The article allowed me to create a new map in my...

Also Pete, I understand splitting, I have done it in the past. That's not the problem. The big problem will be getting family members to manage a FE and a BE. I know that a single file is easier to work with than two. Today, if I send folks 10 tables, 30 forms, and 20 reports to copy...

Pete, I know my family, they won't do that. The only reason they will use the database is to save money on food, utilities, and credit cards. Or they will use the database to deal with an illness that has them in bed. Some of them have never used PowerPoint. Some have never touched...

That's fine Isaac, I create different kinds of applications than most developers on AWF. My applications use graphics, speech, and animation because I am a visual thinker. I have been saying that for years. Someone commented about this years ago in a circa 2000 Access Advisor magazine...

When I finish it, I will take it up to Redmond and let them split it. Then I will take it to Florida and let guys there play with it. Then bring it back to Colorado and fix the mess. BlueSpruce, if I understand correctly, the speech will be in the FE for both the forms and reports, is that...

Thanks, GaP42. The purpose of my Personal Finance and Health database is only to help my family with these two needs. The database is not designed to be a commercial product that has data about the 7,000 diseases, all medicines, and all food products. That would be waaaaaaaaay over my head...

Duane, family members will be able to maintain standard data because those numbers will be stored in the database in a lookup table. Each record in the test standards table has a low and a high value for each test. Folks will be able to change the values as they age. There will also be flags...

Duane, this afternoon, I pulled out my copy of Mosby's Manual and I started looking through all the medical tests. Then I looked at Wayback to find a list of the 7.000 diseases. I am blown away by all of the tests and diseases. How would you recommend I get a handle this? So far, I have...

Pat, I tell my family members that I am from the dark side of the moon. One of my friend's ashes are up there. I would love for NASA to bury me near him. The smartest person that I have ever worked around.

Interesting, I was getting ready to go back out in public last month when I had a talk with my neighbor. He told me that one of his friends attended an event in the city recently. The person came down with Covid and died. Another friend told me someone else he knows came down with the...

With macros that open forms and reports, I create them from scratch in a few seconds. It's so easy. Then if I need to reuse them, it is just Copy and Paste. I copy macros from one form to another, and from one database to another without changing anything. They can be difficult to create...

Thanks, Pat. I am always looking for better ways to design forms and reports. I created the screenshot in #16 mainly for me. I won't expose it to family members because it has too many buttons. I know that. Over the past few months, I created several other navigation panes. I have shown...

Pat, I don't code. I have a little code in my Personal Finance and Health database, but I rarely use it. I use macros instead. I am forced to use code for text-to-speech, but that's about it. Code is for developers, and I am not one. I am a visual thinker. All of my forms have graphics...

Pat, today go to the Newsweek website and check food recalls. No, go to the CDC and FDA. Better yet register for recall announcements at all of these sites. I am seeing a recall announcement almost every day. If you live in certain areas and you watch what you eat, you may never have a...

Pat, that's a great idea. I also use text-to-speech to communicate with users. There's usually one Speak icon on every form. The Recall Map form has three Speak icons because I got carried away on it. Most of the forms and reports will not need entries help after I explain them once or...

A scan suggests that I have more than 140 lookup tables. Sorry, I haven't looked at your mini-app yet. I had other subprojects in the queue. I created a hundred more forms last week. I will try my best to get to it soon. My research takes time, and I had to get up yesterday at 3:30 am to...

Thanks Pat. With a thousand forms/reports in my database, I am thinking about creating a detailed users manual. I suppose each form/report will need two pages to describe it. I hope to start working on the document when I finish building the database.
