I don't need a database specialist to defend me, i can well defend myself.
Guess all i need to do is keep communicating with you guys and i'll be a pro
in no time. the next time when i'm over at my cousins' , who're half my age
and hence carry half the amount of my sensibility, and i get into a stupid
argument with them just cuz they can't understand a simple thing, i'll
remember u all and how u people taught me to defend myself in a immature
manner.
keep up the good work :P

he did offer me lot of help outside of the discussion board, can't
thank him enough for his time and effort

Big freaking deal. There are literally hundreds of people who
participate in these forums who are offering free help to everyone
who posts. Steve is the only one who *ever* takes that over to "you
can pay me for more." Many of us do all sorts of things for others
for no compensation that does not show up in these forums. That
Steve might sometimes do that does not make him special at all.

The thing that makes him "special" is that he is mercenary in his
use of these newsgroups, something that violates the spirit (and the
letter) of the customs that govern these forums.

He's been politely asked not to over and over and over and over
again, but he gets really nasty claiming his right to flout the
norms of behavior.

If you think that's OK, then, well, you are not worth much as a
participant here. You don't seem to be one, anyway, except in this
suspicious thread praising Steve.

A Google search on the OP here learns that he/she has posted in 5! threads,
Two of these are the 'Thank-you-Steve'-threads...
Remains 3 threads where he participated! Wow !!

"Partial data search in a column" in ms.public.access.queries (started july 9)
"Retreiving data from another table" in ms.public.access (started july 27)
"Importing from one table to another" in ms.public.access.externaldata (started july 30, which is the same question)

In *none* of these threads Steve has participated ...
Maybe the OP *does* exist, but I consider his/hers 'contribution' here to be only *sheer utter nonsense*

And where is Steve ??? When does he show up to defend his defender ??
