Thanks Luis.

Jayanth and Gail,

you're probably right, but how do I find a duplicate record when there's nothing to distinguish one from the other? I ask because when I'm sure that the...

Thank you for the admonition, Steve. I needed to hear it.

Steve, I agree with what you wrote in your article, but I also see the objections that others have written. At my old job we had to write reports giving...

Sorry. I misunderstood. I do not think ESC will help you as that is a server feature.

What happens if you run IE with a local admin account? Can...

Matt, I definitely like your suggestion of giving the users a compiled version of the .MDB. Right now what some of them do (fortunately not many) is when they're in...

Thank you Matt, Sean and Alvin. So it seems like, at least as far as the data types go, there's really nothing to worry about, if we go from SQL...

Good article, Steve. However sometimes work is overwhelming, even when you're not at work. I was unemployed for nearly 9 months until I got the job I've now in (I...
