so, now that i know that, i just C&P'd the whole thing to a new doc and it works. (it worked fine in my old program....) -- nm - Andie Apr 29, 06:47 19
- Working between the 2 kinda sucks...but now that I'm used to 2007...I like it a lot more. -- nm - Jim Apr 29, 06:47 18
  - I'm with you. Now that I use it all the time, I like it *a lot* more than 2003. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 29, 06:58
  - Really? I honestly have quit working on Access db's I created becuase I hate 2007 so much. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 06:50 16
    - Haven't worked with Access 2007. I was just talking Excel. -- nm - Jim Apr 29, 06:55 14
      - I think they're deliberately making Access more crap with each release so they can retire it. -- nm - scorpion Apr 29, 06:56 12
        
        Could be. The Express version of SQL server is free -- nm - zork Apr 29, 06:59 11
        
        Yup, and far superior. Only problems is, creating interfaces for an SQL DB is a bit more complex. -- nm - scorpion Apr 29, 07:00 10
        
        I have to get into this program. Limits of being self-taught are showing. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 29, 07:06 7
        
        I'm 100% self taught. Just have to be diligent about setting a shit load of time aside for teaching your self in the beginning - scorpion Apr 29, 07:11 3
        
        Any books or anything you recommend? - Will Hunting Apr 29, 07:13 2
        
        Good question. I have a bunch of tech books for server systems, but I've never purchased one for programming. - scorpion Apr 29, 07:17 1
        
        Sounds good, thanks. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 07:30
        
        do you need to learn SQL or you know it already? -- nm - zork Apr 29, 07:10 2
        
        I'm working my way through a fair bit of it in some of my current db's. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 07:12 1
        
        VB is pretty close to VBA, if you know VBA...it's not an impossible leap -- nm - scorpion Apr 29, 07:14
        
        you could use visual studio express to create web forms so users aren't tied to having Access installed on their machines -- nm - zork Apr 29, 07:05 1
        
        Yea. With Vsiual Basic Express, it's not as much of a leap as it used to be to jump from Access to SQL -- nm - scorpion Apr 29, 07:08
      - Okay. I just wonder why they changed so drastically the basics here - Will Hunting Apr 29, 06:55
    - Access 2007 is crap....I think the rest of the apps are light years ahead of '03 IMHO -- nm - scorpion Apr 29, 06:51
