any table that can be simply drawn up on Words, i ngeh ngeh do on Excels, then when come to transferring it to Word report, i let them do
if lucky, can copy and paste ok

Yeah kinda cool, but in some areas, Access is betterOriginally posted by LazerLordz:I specialised in Excel in NS.Something useful from the times in green..all the formulas and macro crap.

I dont understand, why would a big org wanna use Access when they can afford programmers to come up with programs to suit their needs?Originally posted by the Bear:some running dog at work came up with the most insane and irresponsible "database" ever in Access...
being "IT", the bosses loved it even when it is totally useless...
well, each time i use it, the file grows... even when i open and close it, it grows by about 100kb..
what the heck is wrong with the damned thing?

yeah, i seen people who are enamoured by useless programs and pooh pooh othersOriginally posted by the Bear:note the words "running dog"...
he came up with it.. actually, he mooted the idea, everyone shot it down... he pushed his idea to the big boss... suddenly, a lot of people ended up doing the hard work (they had the misfortune of knowing visual basic and Access)
he took all the credit and everyone's eternal hatred...
we've been fighting with that piece of crap program ever since.. no one trusts it and it's generally known to be crap and irresponsible...
everyone except the big boss who is still enamoured by it..
strange, i didnt havent seen access works like thisOriginally posted by the Bear:strange thing about that piece of crap... you cannot "save" and if you screw up, you screw up...
it saves automatically whenever you do something, which means whatever you enter, and go to the next box, it saves...
and it lost a whole lot of data too! i think it was when the prog grew too big for a floppy disk..
the 900kb file is now a 4MB monster... same amount of data!

the only time i seen a program data increase like that is when i load macros onto my excels
