That doesn't follow at all from what I said. Total non-sequitar. Doesn't even make sense, much less answer my argument. Rants are no substitute for reason. Yep, and it doesn't amount to much in most cases. Certainly not enough to evoke an edict (much less ranting). Indeterminate. You need to...

Re: building SQL strings, you missed my point/example. For a simple thing like looking up a uid, I can understand generally how your code is more formal/correct. But when building a multi-part user-customized query, such as for a report (e.g. choosing 1/more customers to include, and/or gt/lt a...

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate the pointers, corrections, and markup. And the links too (I'll be busy for a while now!) My intention was to leave a breadcrumb for the next guy that comes along with similar background/intentions. My background is strongest in Access, more than vb6. Your...

I'm posting this for archive, for benefit of other beginners, because I had trouble finding a solution to this. I'm coming from solid Access background, trying to rebuild an access database application, struggling with .net's strange new hoops. In previous versions of VB (i.e. Access, VB6...
