Thanks everyone for your input. I have been canny enough not to reveal my own stance on the topic here, since it has alienated me from so-called friends (treacherous fellows who showed their true colours) and certain members of my family, who--I might as well admit--disgust me to no end. But I...

Yeah, I hate to be the one to point it out, but the religious trolls are often worse than their non-religious counterparts. However, *I* am religious--I'm a Pagan! I just don't try to force it down others' throats, but considering how many of my extended family are "Yoga hypocrites" or those...

Well, I just had a mango. We eat well at home, myself and my housemate--he cooks an unbeatable devilled sausage, and his potato mash is superb. Saw something in the paper that really triggered me: the young woman who put a restraining order on me for no f***ing reason except to hurt me. Front...

Well said. I've had to suspend the belief that I know it all for the purpose of making headway & doing things the best I can. The lecturers are not to blame for my ill-preparedness for a career in Access. Can't believe I just said that, actually. "A career in Access," sounds both dull and...

Clarion sounds interesting. Have you--or has anyone else--had much experience with MS Visual Studio?

So I ask about Access and I get major mood swings and very frustrated at people poking holes in my "perfect" database. I ask about mood swings and we really hit it off with the Access talk. Figure that one out...

Appreciate your point of view, thanks Mark. Just trying to get the hang of error handling in my subroutines here, it's quite different from C#, which I learnt at TAFE. I guess we were spoilt learning C# for the whole year, whereas the previous semesters had done a) VB [in Cert III] and then b)...

Nice talking to you, and nice to hear from someone who's been there since the DOS days. So you like a good scotch, that's cool. I grew up with Apple Macs, my parents had a graphic design business in the late 80s and early 90s. I like all OSes, except maybe the earlier versions of Windows--my...

Back to what I was saying about mood swings, meds and intoxicants can either help or hinder the matter. I find that going through pregabalin w/d's (yeah, I'm dependent on it) really puts me in a terrible mood. My psychiatrist told me to occasionally take what she calls a "drug holiday" in order...

How long have you been using it?

Well, surely, what the Access Bible hasn't got in it, the Access 2016 Programming Primer has! There has to be a finite amount one can learn about Access... right? ;)

Yeah, that's what I'm working on now: revising the design. Hell, it's just a (very) small database and I can afford all the time in the world, since I'm on a pension from the Australian government--yes, at my age hahah. However, I was convinced I'd got the design right until errors cropped up in...

Ok, but it doesn't have to be an AutoNumber, does it? It just has to have a unique index on it. What about composite indexes, like for City/State/Postcode? My Access Bible tells me that they are worth using to enhance performance. They're something I didn't learn at TAFE.

Oh, didn't you know? Fosters went out of business in Australia, ages ago. Normally I'd drink Coopers Pale Ale and my housemate Victoria Bitter. We've only got cheap wine here at the moment, as well as dexies (just having a one-off of 5 tablets plus another 3 just then so I can concentrate...

Mine's a Dell Latitude E6510 and it's served me well over the past year. It's got all twelve F-keys, if that's what you're asking. The F12 key doubles as a Pause key, and the others all have various other functions associated with them indicated by small symbols below F1 to F12. Never really...

Yeah, for this particular project (Music Accounts and Orders DB) I did write a whole bunch of notes down as to what tables I wanted, what fields would go into the tables, and how the tables would be connected. Then I got an ER diagram happening in Draw.io (though I didn't have to, Access does it...

Hahah ok, I just read "My ex dumped me again," that's the extent of my foray into the Watercooler. Haven't gotten flamed yet (touch wood, fingers crossed etc.) And yes, the pregabalin is close at hand, just in case! :D

I wrote a couple of book reviews for Amazon.com. Check 'em out! 301 Polish Verbs by Klara Janecki: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1U29BZOFF31HC/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv Oxford Essential Polish Dictionary...

Ok, here's the last page of this PDF reference simply entitled "Database Design Basics," copied and pasted into Word format with appropriate citation. After all, the first Commandment of Access Database Design is: "1. Thou shalt design normalized tables and understand thy fields and...

:D Heheh... most of the time, eh? Wow, my pleasure. Did you happen to look at the other pages I wrote? P.S. I've been wanting to share a resource on Access database design, but it's a PDF of 244KB. I might have to just copy/paste it into Word, citing the source, of course, too. Give me a...
