Re: Access and Sharepoint

MY point is being misinterpreted - I submitted a post to a forum and an MVP
responded with "try it and see"

so now I must respond back that I did try it and it didn't work... not much
value add to my way of thinking

I've seen responses on this forum that actually explained why something would
or would not work (from a technical perspective), and maybe even provided a
suggestion or 2

didn't mean to offend - I'll keep looking for technical assitance
