Not sure I agree with you there, Tony, but no problem, we can move you more to the back of the group and we can put all the young, fresh, good-looking MVPs up in front. For example, we could ask.... hmm... Or maybe ...

The problem is that the class you took was probably dedicated to Access (of
course) but had little content in DATABASE DESIGN, which is what you really need. The discipline of database design is a difficult one to master, taking many years to gain serious proficiency. Although Access can be used to develop highly complex applications, its original intent was to give desktop users the ability to create small personal or business database applications. Database consultants typically charge $50-$125 an hour. So as you can see, a database tutor would generally be outside the price-range of most people. Your company might want to hire a consultant to do some of your backed-up applications however. "Back in the day," companies kept a staff of trained computer/database developers for these projects. But these days, most companies are simply too "cheap" to want to do that. So they push this work onto people who aren't trained in the field, and then wonder why the applications are primitive, or have serious operational flaws. The real answer is for your company to send you to school, to a class dedicated to database design theory. That's the only way you'll get a "jumpstart" in the information you lack. Or they can make you slog through many years of painful self-learning. That'll work too, but you won't have much fun. Bottom line: database design is more art than science. And learning that art is a seriously time-consuming and emotionally draining experience. (I have 35+ years in the field, FWIW) "Shirley" wrote: I'm up to here in projects that I know will work great if I knew more about how to work with Access.

Has anyone tried opening Duane's database in Access 2007? I can't get it to
work because of macros being disabled. And I can't follow the instuctions for enabling them because there is no 'Message Bar' to click on.
