Thank god for that! I don't know much about database work generally as the question probably revealed but my current contract is writing a tool in Access. It's ok for a small job as you can find ways round the bugs but I could just imagine the scene in a doctor's surgery - "sorry we can't get your records as it keeps going into VBA debug mode for no obvious reason. Hang on while we run a repair and compact on this 5 billion terrabyte file will you?"

Access is a joke >large parts are sql server,oracle or dbase depending on the cluster. my project team did do something using csv and odbc at the trials. Newchurch subsequently won some large bids only to stuff it up later by never sticking to one method or idea long enough.Last edited by MarillionFan; 28 August 2006, 13:34.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
