No Access

The wife designed her own Access database and wanted my help connecting a many to many relationship. Bonus points to her for remembering what I taught her. She didn't have any columns/tables with special characters in the name (this time), again a win. I spent the next 90 minutes cussing in my head (kids around) trying to make it work. I finally hung my head in shame giving up. She spent the rest of the night watching Youtube videos till she figured it out. I'm not sure if I'm a failure for not figuring it out, or a genius for quitting so she won't want my help with the next part of this project.

Say "chasm trap" in an authoritative manner, look concerned, then back away slowly... that'd be the recommended approach.

You think you're a genius. She knows that she has something else to add to her list of things to remind you of when next you step out of line, or the vacuum cleaner gets clogged, or it's a Tuesday!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

It's a useful skill that I am sure she is willing to teach you! I last used Access more than a decade ago. [bleah!] Since then I learnt to do any databases I need, writing a C# app that configures, controls and manipulates SQL (Express) databases.

This one! :thumbsup: Now you know the easy way out! Unfortunately, it has cost you some points, but she has solved her own problem so both of you have succeeded! :laugh:

Where you went wrong is that you should have used Excel.
