and i do want to help people

i want to help people from being stuck making $20/hour when there are
hundreds and thousands and millions of open sql server jobs.

you guys can liberate yourselfs from making $20/hour.

ANY mdb developer in the world is only worth $20/hour-- even if you've
got a big blue tattoo that says MVP

it's just too easy to find kids that will work for $10/hour that will
do a better job that you kids

Did you catch the abusive reply that
he made to me the other day? Here is a link to that thread:

I'm not quite sure I understand why someone would use such language in
a public area. In a bar fine.
I'm surprised he attacked me with such vigor.

I've been a bit startled myself.

A while back I co-developed an Access97 database used heavily by 120 users
daily. It was central to the company's sales operations. It was a 100million
(UK pounds) turnover company. At the end of my time there - we regularly went
6 months between mdb corruptions. Even then they only took 20minutes to fix !
5 years prior to that we were on v2.0 and getting daily corruptions. Sure the
product got better, but so did our understanding and use of it. The
reliability we achieved in the end was by design - our design, a design we
learned by applying common-sense to the day to day issues we faced. Trashing
a product - as some have done in this thread, merely shows ignorance as to
what can be achieved with the right attitude.

Interesting. I can't say I've seen any corruptions caused by bad
design so your experience is a bit different. Possibly there were
other factors such as flaky hardware that was retired? Or the
infamous OpLocks causing troubles?

What things did you do to reduce/eliminate corruptions?
