What anger? Was I supposed to be angry? Where was I wrong? I've
completely forgotten.

BTW, the last idiot that responded uses 50+ characters for field names,
table names, query names, form names and report names and thinks that is
cool!!! He is probably very sad his own name is so short!!!


chuckle

Very occasionally I will use table, query, form and report names that
are 50+ characters long. Not, to my knowledge, field names. However
when you're dealing in an app with 160 tables, 1200 queries, 450
forms, 350 reports and 70,000 lines of code sometimes you have to get
a bit wordy.

The relationships diagram is the full 4' width of the relationships
window and about 3' tall. Stephen Lebans had to make me a special
utility to stitch the relationships windows together just so we could
print it. The maximum report size is 22" x 22", IIRC, and that was
way too small.

This is a great example of the "free support" you preach about!!! You have

All that and no response to your central problem with you Steve. Why
are you trolling for customers against the rules?

Default [OT] calculate values in a form

Dear Tony:

The relationships diagram is the full 4' width of the relationships
window and about 3' tall. Stephen Lebans had to make me a special
utility to stitch the relationships windows together just so we could
print it. The maximum report size is 22" x 22", IIRC, and that was
way too small.


If you ask me, that *has* to qualify as some kind of art! One day, when I
create my "Access Lair" in the basement, I'm going to ask you for a signed
copy of that printout, and frame it for hanging! g

Cheers!

I've heard of two systems a bit larger, one that had 220 tables.

Sure, but I'll have to find a plotter to print it on. I fired that
client a while back due to a new *rsehole manager type who thought he
knew something about software so I don't have access to a plotter any
more.

BTW I'm told by some MS folks that the relationships diagram was
hanging in a hallway at Microsoft for six months or a year. Folks
would walk by and say "That was done in Access?!!?!"
