Alan has been a great help to many UA members. His posts are always living examples of his signature line, It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Congratulations Alan and thanks for all you do here at UtterAccess.

Our Access Wiki has passed the 1 million page views milestone!

Since its inception two years ago, the Access Wiki has grown into a repository for hundreds of informative articles, functions and class examples from more than fifty authors and contributors. Many UtterAccess forum postings now quote and link to Access Wiki articles.

You can help us make it better.

We welcome and encourage UtterAccess Members to make contributions, small or large, to the Access Wiki.
Take a peek at Wanted Pages and see if there's a subject just waiting for you to write it!

If you need help getting started, this HowTo article will help you along. Of course you can always ask questions about writing a wiki article in our forums.

As a member of UtterAccess, you are also welcome to edit and improve existing Access Wiki pages.
You can view the most recently edited pages in the Recent Pages log.

After all, it's the community that drives the Access Wiki. Thank you for helping make the Access Wiki an important Access resource.

Please join me in offering HUGE congratulations to theDBguy on passing the awesome 35k posts milestone!!!!

theDBguy is not only the most prolific poster, but is also an UtterAccess Forum and Wiki Moderator and a Microsoft Access MVP

Personally I suspect that he's also invented some sort of time warping machine, because I seriously have no idea how he manages to cram so much into 24 hours a day.

His polite, informative, accurate and down to earth answers have helped out many thousands of Access users worldwide and it only seems like two minutes ago that we were congratulating him on the 30k milestone.

Words don't express the gratitude that is owed to the remarkable man that is theDBguy, so I'll just raise a glass or three (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif) and say (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thanks.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/acclaim.gif)
