Thank you all for your support. I HAVE indeed spent countless hours on the forum. Most of the time, I'm reading or answering what questions I feel I can. It just so happens that now and again, I too feel the need to ask for help. The Help files HAVE many times provided me with information, however, re: requery, I found only tables listing the components (object, argument, etc.) I learn by example for the most part. There is no example in the Help file. And someone unfamiliar to programming does not just "grasp" the idea of objects, methods, etc. Please forgive my ignorance!
In addition, I will offer up my thanks to all that have either directly or indirectly contributed to a new wealth of knowledge. Pat - for lessons on tables and their relationships. R. Hicks for the (wonderful) option of automation, Talismanic / BukHix for showing me a way to see Code that I could learn by and for putting up with my curiousity of asp., and to Rich, Alexandre and Jack Cowley and any other of the wonderful few who visit the forum primarily to help others.
My idea of the forum is basically "group discussion". One person has the question and we all contribute answers AND! questions within the confines of a group. Only then does true learning take place.
Perhaps my tormentor had a better teacher, or more money for a good book. I don't know and truly don't care. It seems a pity that one should feel compelled to put themselves above another, exspecially NOT knowing THAT person AT ALL! As for billing me for services, I will be happy to provide my address for the invoice upon receiving a copy of the service contract which states that my questions MUST be answered.
That's all I have to say about that. I will continue my posts, although I will have to admit, I feel ashamed now to do that. I hope I don't have to.
