Welcome...back!

Welcome! I'm a new user after a 2 day course too, so I know your struggle. Rest assured the group on here is by far one of the best I have found in the past few months of working with Access!!

What kind of dogs do you have? (I wish I could keep mine at work with me )

Also love dogs! I have three rescues, two of which are Romanian. Would love to hear what you have!

Ditto. This forum became my go to reference, when I realized that my problems were not unique. You just have to find the correct thread!

Yorky (Puddles), 2 Chihuahua mixes(Baby and Bella) and a Lab/Husky mix (Buddy).

lol someone mad enough to have more dogs than me - I like! Love Puddles as a dog name!

Mine are Dave (Shepard Rotty mix), Spud & Maria from Romania which are god knows what - they're so interbred you have no chance of working out their origins...

Despite the many changes in the UI (which few are for the better, IMO), keep in mind that the fundamental concepts have not at all changed. Tables, queries, forms, reports and code all work using the same general principles that have been in place since long before you worked with it the first time around.

(there's been many "feature" additions, such as Multi-Valued Fields - which do more harm than good, and deprecations - APD projects - but if you're sticking to basic Access development, you can use the same knowledge of database and application design that you used to, albeit a shiny new place to (try to) find things)

Cheers
