I have those conversations all the time with my ISP.. the "you can't do that" "Oh by I can" "teach me how then" "are you paying me £20 an hour to do this??" conversations *laughing*
When I ended up getting my brother to call the ISP.. I'm on ADSL.. they tell him "sir, the software doesn't work that way, how it works is".. and my brother replied.. "I *know* how it works, I was the designer and programmer of it worldwide" hehehehehehe!!
Oh, I loved my old database.. I just love relational databases.. the way it all fits together.. my old database had over 4000 seperate tables alone.. and you viewed the data in totally different ways dependent on your login.. I loved running reports from it as no one else understood it like me *grins* And I could blow them away (I understood it so well, as when unable to fix the problems that had been caused by stupid people before me, I just rebuilt the entire thing and rolled it out to, instead of the 40 users it had, 3000 users world wide!)
But I've never used Access *laughing* Can you believe it.. As awful as it sounds, I've never lowered myself to use Access - its nasty!! But its also cheap for them to use cos it comes bundled into Office! But give me a few months and I'll change all of that! *L*
The problem is, the NERDS love geeky terminology.. and its the nerds that write the books..
Do you have the "Dummies guide" series over there.. I know the Dummies Guide to SQL helped me out loads.. so maybe the dummies guide to Access might be OK!
