I had quite a bit of fun and a little agony creating databases which are indistinguishable from full blooded database applications. I found it very easy to develop beautiful interfaces which gave just as much or as little access to the underlying db structure as I do with ASP.Net and WPF.
All well structured companies need products that can meet the needs of low budget customers so MS Access is likely to be around for a while, buy there are no real changes going on for the platform and there are already many resources out there for it and they already have much more to offer than would accumulate quickly here. You are better off using those resources.

Why? Just do a count of the number of Access questions every day. And anyone who is not sure whether to use VB or Database can always go to QA.

The "Paste truncate" bug again: if you highlight text and paste a link over it, the link can get truncated but the text remains as the link text.

Because you misspelled[^] it?

I'm talking about the double-p in the middle, a serious addition I would say...

I like that link you posted, especially the quotes at the end:Quote: 2005 September 30, D. Harlan Wilson, Pseudo-City, p183 (Raw Dog Screaming Press; ISBN 1933293020 (10), ISBN 978-1933293028 (13))
Coincidentally there is a masochistic PCP with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (fear of long words) curled up in an alleyway across the street. He has been whispering “Antidisestablishmentarianism” to himself over and over for two days now, experiencing up to one orgasm every three hours as a result of The Pain […]

Maybe because the first person to face this condition forgot to add a white-space.

I meant that as a joke. Not sure if that's a bit harsh.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

And it keeps the OCDs busy for a moment or two.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Because of all the letter that come after the "H".
That was an easy question. What else ya' got?

Because "hippo" refers to horses, so the etymology of the word concerns French potted meat from a horse which won huge rosettes that were joked about by others in Latin.
So anyone who's not completely stupid can see why it's used to describe a fear of long words, right?

I may have hippophobia, but I don't know as I've never come across one.
I am, however, terrified of hippopotomonstrosesquippedalioes.
