I should say! Extended condolences are definitely in order. :crying:

There's a common misperception that Access is an insecure system that is also unreliable. As long as you use the .mdb format, you have Access User Security. That feature can be used to manage what various users are permitted to see and do. If you are using an Access back-end for data storage, then there are issues with reliability and with the possibility of theft or loss of the data. But once you put that data into SQL Server on a physically secured server, then an Access front-end provides the fastest development path to a feature rich user interface. With a compiled and properly secured front-end your data is as secure as with any other system.

My prescription for a frazzled and frustrated developer would be a nice long holiday weekend like we are having here, but on a beach or along a quiet mountain brook. (Bad planning on our part to be cutting over a new client this weekend. :crazy:) Hopefully your situation is beginning to settle down and behave as it should, and things will get better.
