Hey there

[chacham]

I've had this site come up in my searches before, but i finally have a question so i registered. Unlike other forums where i am wary if they are used or reliable, here there was no such concern.

I am not an Access programmer specifically, though i love databases, design, and queries.

Welcome to the forums! We are the most active Microsoft Access community on the internet by far, with posts going back over 20 years!

Here are just a couple of tips for you:

1. Feel free to ask any question you like, however basic you may feel it is, or even if it has been answered before. Our expert members thrive on helping you out!

2. If you prefer a dark theme to the forums, just go to the bottom left of this forum and click "Default style". You will then see a selection of themes to choose from. I like Shades of Blue.

3. If you like any of the answers you get, feel free to click the "Like" link on the bottom right hand corner of the post. If you hover over the Like link, you can even choose the type of smiley.

Above all, hang around here, have fun, learn stuff and join in.

What was the difference between this forum and others, from your perspective, over the reliability?

Hi. Welcome to AWF!

What was the difference between this forum and others, from your perspective, over the reliability?

If they are active, how they treat others, and what they'll do with my email address. Things i think of before spending the time to register. I was just trying to say i trust this site.

That's interesting. So things like privacy police perhaps. Glad you trust it!

And effort in creating the account and password. It's just a small amount of effort, but it's enough to make me stop, drop, and think.

Did you use the auto signup with Facebook option?

 

[chacham]

Nope. Not a facebook user.

 

[Jon]

I think lots of people are ditching FB nowadays.

I never touched it in the first place. Not interested at all. Only place that ever got me was GeoCities, but the chatrooms were fun back then.
