Hi All
I've been using Access XP for a little while now and picking it up sure
was a big learning curve. I've got round the basics, and worked on
understanding good database design and normalization, however when
working on big databases I seem to always find bugs or glitches.
When looking for solutions on the newsgroups, I then find out that
perhaps I should not have done something in a particular way, due to a
long standing issue...
Now I know a lot of this will come with experience, but its such a work
stopper when you've made your design and centre its working around the
chosen way of doing things, only to find out its not possible, or wise
once you've made it all!
Is there a list of do's and don't's anywhere?
Why are glitches left in Access for so long? Like the memo field
corruption etc? The need to compact the databases regularily?
I struggle to understand how such a commercially used application still
has these glitches in.
Many Thanks for any pointers you can give,
Adam
