I have to say those are pretty condescending responses.


So your debut thread contains an insult to the folks trying to help you?
Responders can only guess your level of experience from your OP and yours
sounds like that of a clueless newbie, so you got appropriate responses IMO,
but I doubt that insults will get you much more in the way of help. You seem
hell-bent on doing things wrong, like using lookup fields and allowing
end-users to build their own queries which can only add to the reasons to
let you get on with it.
