Sorry all for this belated greeting.
I completely missed this Introduce Yourself topic, although I have been coming on and off a few months now. In fact, I only noted the dashboard main page properly now and am still unfamiliar with it. In fact, I only caught on that this is an active discussion site and not an abandoned knowledge archive that a generous owner somewhere has kept accessible with passive interest. That's just an impression from the many Access discussion sites which are now desolate and inactive but accessible
In fact, I do not even remember when did I register as a user but I can assure you it must have been one of those dark, lonely and desperate nights and I was reading maybe ten sites at once, looking for any information for which I would be so grateful because something finally explained the Access problem I was struggling with. I vaguely remember signing up two Access sites but could not find them again in my overwhelmingly long browser history after I finally resolved the problem.
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised when someone reacted to a careless posting I made, and I thought someone was visiting this old site at the same time. You have to forgive me for thinking this site is just another inactive site because many of the threads happened to read have dialogues dated from years ago. You know the feeling in movies when mannequins come alive and were human after all? A little like that...
Well, my Access skills were basically self-taught, and I use it for my work in which I have to deal with many deadlines, documents, and across the world, and any small formal training in programming were in Fortran77 and 8088. I did SQL and Oracle at one point, that year XML came out. So I am in a constant need to backtrack to plug in knowledge gaps and, I am afraid, likely to be one of those to ask astoundingly stupid questions that would have an answer that seem obvious to most of you.
Well, anyway, that's all I could garner to say about myself. Oh, THANK YOU very much , for all the generous sharing and kindred mood you have created on this site.
Chat again sometime.
Best Regards,
Ed
