I am grateful I found this forum. I work in SQL Server in t-sql. I began using Access as a means to do Reports and Spreadsheet updating. I also use it as a means to expedite other tasks through the windows scheduler to run. I do all this programming in VBA. My backgrounf is most extensive in Pascal, but VBA is pretty easy. I am very new and limited in Access and the tricks to taking advantage of their interface. Thanks!!!
