Jumping In! Water looks good...

Hi all!

I can be a little rebellious while still following the rules, so getting started with the greetings...

I'm an old gal with some far, far away coding experience - think fortran and PASCAL - and a little experience in a lot. But fairly new to the intricacies of Access. That's right - a newbie but an oldie.

I was assigned to take over a database program for a quality assurance group that was started by a part time, just graduating and moving to engineering guy. It was mostly done - but very poorly and certainly not normalized. I spent the first part of my time on it, while doing my other work, trying to figure out what he had done. I rewrote almost all the vba code based on his table, forms, queries, and reports, as well as adding and updating some functionality of most.

But because the data wasn't very well normalized, I began planning a redo - which ended up being necessary because the user was running up against a record size wall.

Anyway, I keep trying to find a solution to my latest issue and haven't found it yet. So I'm thinking I might need some help. And so, here I am.

Welcome KC! Lots of good people here!

new user also, but without experience. I just seen you mention fortran and that gave me the "goose bumps". I took it my first year in college, needless to say I didn't pass and changed my major. Funny how things come full circle.

Well done @Uncle Gizmo!

However I haven't been posting messages when posts are approved. Perhaps I should as well.
Anyway, no time to do any today so we're not going to trip over each other

@Uncle Gizmo I need to get that stats thing up so you can all compete again the post-wars!

I actually had an idea earlier today. How about having a random forum from lower down on the board (e.g. sports, politics, business) to appear near the top of the board, just for a day. It might help those poor little buggers get some exposure and therefore traction. Not sure if any add-on exists for that but interesting concept.

Or coronavirus.

I know global warming!

oh give me break, Tony. Global warming is just as ridiculous as a supervisor that tells me to sweep a floor to keep myself busy during downtime, cuz everyone *has* to be *productive* 100% of the time. yet another example of corporate greed and fear that they can't keep their jobs.

If I was your supervisor I would say exactly the same thing, you know why? I bet you a $100 that you can't stop talking!

hmmmm....I think you'd lose your $100 on that one, Tony. If you had accompanied me to the monastery 3 weeks ago, you would have seen what I'm talking about.
