    How do I become a programmer?

    Item 1 above clearly shows why an ejumicatsun is imperative. Had he had the smarts ahead of time, he would have attended a state college and could have been trained in all kinds of stuff he'll never use for a lot less than $100k. It should have been $60k tops. And that's for good quality stuff...

    what is the proper sql update statement for this

    That's the key to anything.... use the right tool for the right job for the right reason. In the case of a grid of parents, which when clicked will display child records else where, then it makes sense. BUT.... in the case of our current app, that wouldn't work because it isn't grid based. A...

    Messagebox: creating a new line

    Building upon cjard's lesson there, the reason for this is that strings are what is called "immutable". Meaning they cannot change. Once they are set, that's it. You are probably now going "Wait a minute! But... But..." When you concatenate strings together, what really happens is that a NEW...
