I am pleased to announce that UA Editor strive4peace (Crystal Long) passed the 20000 post milestone today.
A Microsoft Access MVP, Crystal joined UtterAccess on January 10, 2004.
Since then, she has provided excellent help to many members, and specifically to me.

Having read & learned from Access Basics by Crystal-- Free 100 page Tutorial
I highly recommend it to all individuals who are new to Access.

Please join me in Congratulating Crystal on passing this milestone
in her journey to share her knowledge with all who are willing to learn!

Thanks Crystal!! I owe you tons!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/kisses.gif)

UtterAccess is special. I stumbled in during a particularly difficult time in my life. I did not even know such places like this existed! In the past 8 years, I have met so many amazing people, and learned so much! Many of the great things in my life have happened because of UtterAccess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif)

Go Crystal! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yayhandclap.gif)

You may not be posting in quite the quantities as you used to in the old days, but it's always great to find your warm and personal touch whenever I come across your posts these days.

Hope life is treating you well,

Hi Crystal,

Congratulations!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yayhandclap.gif)

I too learned a lot from your posts and always look forward to reading your contributions.

Not to mention all you do outside of UA, such as your YouTube channel.

Hope to see you around for another 20k and more.

Crystal,

A hearty "Congratulations" for your achievement (IMG:style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif)

You're always willing to lend a helping hand and your devotion and professionalism shines through in your every post.

"Thank You" for being so generous with your knowledge.

Smitty -- thanks for your friendship and for stoppin' in! ,,, maybe next time you'll stay a little longer and answer some Excel questions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

dbGuy -- thank you very much! By the time I get another 20K, the post count data type will probably be in exponential format to accomodate your count! thanks for all you do

AvgJoe -- I was just looking at a post you made that got no responses ... I wish I knew off the top of my head how to help. Thank you for your kind words (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ... and wow! that's a really big fish on your profile!

Thanks for everything you do Crystal. Have a great day and celebrate a bit.

Congratulations, Crystal -- 20,000 is an impressive number of posts.

Best regards always,
Larry Linson, Microsoft Office Access MVP

Larry,

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome2UA.gif) It's great to see you here. We hope to see more of you.

Glenn

Congratulations, Crystal -- 20,000 what a number. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk2.gif)

Also thanks for your help in the past ant to the information contained on your web page

Congrats !!

There is so much that you offer here at UA and it is always nice to read your posts.

Crystal, I couldn't say enough about the difference you've made in my Access career and the support, guidance and general encouragement that you've given me over the years. I haven't the slightest idea where I would be if it weren't for you.

Congratulations Crystal! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif)

It is amazing to think of the number of people you have helped! Not only here, but also through your tutorial, as well as, your youtube videos.

Here's to the next 20000 posts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif)

It sure gives newbies, such as myself, quite the bar to aim for!

Congratulations, Crystal! I would bet the number of people you have helped is greater than the number of posts you have made. If everybody I referred to your tutorials followed through, there's more than a hundred right there. I know I have often been the beneficiary of your skill and graciousness. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yayhandclap.gif)

Graciousness AND Access knowledge, all in ONE individual?! We dare to dream! But then we were blessed with Crystal!

Way to go! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/woohoo.gif)
