Given that I knew the grand total of absolutely nothing when I started visiting these forums (and was petrified to even think of VBA) the good people here have taught me massive amounts, to the point that I can now reasonably quickly knock something functional together that seems to work quite well - - I have been doing significantly less with Access in the past 18-20 months due to a change in my circumstances, so have been VERY rusty at getting going again this past few weeks - but I am getting there.
The patience and friendliness of everyone here has been remarkable - and there always remains an encouragement to learn, which is brilliant.
As for the future, well my health is not great at the moment (I have been diagnosed with at least one auto immune condition for which I start immuno-suppressant treatment on Monday, and had to have a CT scan today to hopefully rule out cancer); the treatment is expected to last for at least a year, during which time I will be restricted in many of the things I can do, particularly at work - so, more screen time and more learning are hopefully going to follow
