Richard on 1/1/2007:  Employee Commission & Pay Rates, Nested IIF functions, DMAX, Me.Requery, InputBox, Passwords, Overtime Hours
BRYAN binkerd on 5/14/2009: I think the showings of the mistakes and how to correct them are great, however, I might recommend that if you added that portion to a troubleshooting chapter, it would allow the user to learn the "perfect world" scenario and to recap the user's knowledge and awareness of the troubleshooting techniques. PLEASE do not take it this the wrong way. If it is a pain, then leave it as is. I find the mistakes very useful and have caught some of the mistakes on my own. (Standing up and bowing for the loud applause) sad thing is it was only 2 out of the entire series. Keep up the great work (Chanting "Go Rick, Go Rick, it's your birthday" Thanks Bryan
BRYAN binkerd on 5/14/2009: Help for the dummy, I used names rather than IDs to store values. Is there a parameter value such as LIKE "*dummy*" for text rather than ID references. Bryan
Richard Rost on 5/19/2009: Bryan, yes, you can use the LIKE keyword in a query just as you have it there. I cover it way back in Access 102: http://599cd.com/site/courselist/access/access102
Ruth Spohr on 11/21/2009: I agree with Bryan about a trouble shooting chapter so the lessons are clearer. It also becomes difficult to refer back to the handbooks when you must wade through incorrect methods to find the correct information.
Richard Rost on 11/25/2009: I actually get a lot of compliments on the fact that I do cover several wrong methods showing how to arrive at the right ones. I like to show people the common mistakes that they're likely to make because I know I've spent many hours being frustrated by just such mistakes. Don't you feel this is valuable?
