Money can't buy you happiness - it just puts you in a good bargaining position - but I can't understand the urge to destroy yourself either.

Once you have kids, the selfishness of suicide is off the table. He had to get his children to adulthood, then if he still was a whiny, waste of body parts he could off himself.
Putrid f***.

My GF is mourning a lot - CB was her first celebrity crush and she talked basically only of LP for a bunch of years (I know it fairly well since we met during that time). Linkin Park (and Grey Daze, the previous band of Chester Bennington) had been extremely useful for her to get over her tremendous life experience, giving her the strenght needed to pull on.
They also had the same effect to me, if in a smaller intensity since they were my first step towards heavy metal and Metallica helped me more but still...

He had a lot of demons that he was very open about. That openness helped a lot of fans deal with tragedy or hardship in their own lives which they would struggle to understand or cope with.
My guess is that the Chris Cornell thing hit him a lot harder than anyone knew.

Don't see one. The closest I see is Database, but this is a coding question. What's the best forum for MS Access questions?

ACCESS? Perhaps, StackOverflow ?

I hear ya, but when a client wants to pay me to work on it, I take it.
There's a "Delphi" forum. I think an MS Office forum would be nice. I'll post in Bugs & Sugs

I think you missed the point. The answer was Stack Overflow (website). It wasn't a dig on the job.

Whatever the Access question, the answer is always "Hey Mr. Client, we love Access but it's time to grow up and move to a big-boy database..."

There are plans in the works to move to an enterprise architecture.
And an no point do you ever say no to a client who's willing to pay.

Indeed! I was trying to be funnyish but I did like Access as a tool back at version 1 and 2. Worked really well.

Sure you do. Some clients will drain you dry if you don't learn to say no.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I told a couple of clients "no", but wound up having to do what they asked anyway. 
One of them I put off for six months before implementing their customer-hostile feature.
The other wanted me to make a change to their production system while I was at their site -- I tried to insist on not doing it until I got back to the office and folllowing the proper procedure, but they insisted.

That is another way to say no.

Yes, like 'Which part of no did you not understand?'

I'm waiting for the naysayers to ask why on earth you would consider using Access for anything. Just the other day I came across a system still using Access 97 databases for the backend. This is a fairly popular (in my niche) inventory system...It may be popular, but it really sucks as it can only ever provide values at a point in time, not for a point in time like all the others I've dealt with. Of course my manager forces me to spend days trying to match a report that was printed a week prior. 
Sorry to have hijacked your question...I think Database is the right forum. Of course you could always just submit in QA.

This is a typical Access app. It was created by someone who needed a small tracking system and over time it morphed into a mid to large size app.
They have plans to create an enterprise level app, first to SQL Server, then into .Net/Web/Mobile.

I considered it, but this isn't really a data question. It's more about the VBA than anything else.

I've had considerable experience with Access and VBA but I sure wouldn't admit it in polite conversation.

The answer is always to do the steps manually while recording a macro.

Surely you have a daily backup that you keep for a month before you replace it with the monthly backup! I learnt this was the best solution for reproduction of Access stuff in the 90s.

Good idea, but not my call. It would probably work, but I refuse to put any more time into interfacing with a system using Access 97 databases  ...I mean, c'mon, at least move them to 2K!..or better yet, rewrite the application to use SQL Server!
