Microsoft Access Rants

We have all discussed the multitude of troubles with Access at some time or another. Now here's a page to address the Microsoft 'Features'. Chris Shepherd has suggested this and kicks us off with a little rant about the resize event.

The Trouble with Access (1) The Resize EventChris Shepherd
Chris kicks us off with the problem with maximised forms
The Trouble with Access (2) DoCMD what where they thinking??Chris Shepherd
Why oh why did microsoft decide to use a dodgy macro system to service a vb application. Chris sticks the boot in.
The Trouble with Access (3) Runtime error '2185'Chris Shepherd
Why do we have to move to a control to set it's value. That’s just not VB
The Trouble with Access (4) Access 2000 and 97 at the same time!!Chris Shepherd
Chris gives insight into the way access 2000 and 97 can get into the same database and the do's and don'ts
The Trouble with Access (5) Renaming StuffChris Shepherd
So your naming convention isn't up to scratch and you need to change stuff. Been there done that…so save yourself the hassle.
The Trouble with Access (6) Who's in that databaseChris Shepherd
It's 3am and after a heavy night of coding you want to update the database but someone is still in it. Find out who.

Chris is still writing the nulls rant which is probably going to stretch into two rants. We probably won't be able to stop him now we've given him a soapbox to voice his opinions on. At some point I'll get round to writing one about the Query Design grid, and if I could find an answer to it I would love to write one about trying to find a specific instance of Access that is open when more than one is open.
