I had not been their for quite a while, then just a couple of weeks ago it was gone. I have googled him and the site extensively and I get nothing about him or the status of the site. |

And you never know when that is going to happen. That's why it's a good idea to make a copy of useful information, not just bookmark the link. For example, you know that webpage at The Access Web / mvps.org that tells you how to refer to controls from other forms? Well I have a copy of that saved on my computer in case it were to disappear. Of course, downloading anything and everything you might need from the web would be impossible. But you can make an attempt, at least. -------------------- Robert Crouser |

Of course, if that site went down as well.....but that's highly unlikely -------------------- |

![]() UtterAccess VIP Posts: 11,276 Joined: 10-February 04 From: South Charleston, WV ![]() | This is true. And, indeed, Martin Green has been found at Wayback Machine (see the other thread). Still, a good copy on your computer can't hurt and is good insurance. -------------------- Robert Crouser |

However Allen has also retired from Access stuff, but is still active in his spiritual blog. I certainly would hate to see his Access stuff site disappear. -------------------- Currently supporting pawnbrokers that use my store management system developed with Access 2010 on Windows7.

My apps use several of his standard routines modules, forms/reports configuration, control handling funcs, etc. Perhaps one of us could create a repository website for all the legendary guru's to pledge their contributed works to it while they are still alive, or in their last will and testament. This way their life's works will live on forever.

Older, but quite well done and very informative. -------------------- Good luck with your project! |
