On the upside - and you might appreciate this - I have managed to extract interesting things from the art show database today, such as a list of email addresses for all artists who have submitted placeholder entries. With duplicates removed. Not with Access, but with XempleX. So much more fun and so much easier to tinker and remember old coding patterns because they're shapes. OK, maybe rabbit1080 might appreciate that last bit more, but I'm sure you know how satisfying it is to dust off an old skill and find it still there.
