I ended up redoing last session's sample assignment to fix EVERYTHING which was broken cos Microsoft's nondeterministic software design.
I hate wizards, I hate design view and it's pernickity fiddlage, and I really hate things which mess with my data without asking, or even telling me it is doing it.
At least you get a qualification out of it I guess. Come home and beat windows with a stick to make you feel better after...or just hug *nix and MacOS lots ;)
Ubuntu is my friend. Even Open Office behaves better than MS Office...
Today I redid my sample assignment from 2 weeks ago having learned that step 4 of report making wizard UNDOES and JIBBLES the layout explicitly laid out in step 1... Which fucking wanker designed and indeed wrote such a nondeterministic piece of shit.
What is the point of a wizard which fucks with your data so you have to jibble it all in design view anyway.
I'm not sure I want an M$ qualification cos I don't want to use M$ it makes me too angry!
*kill stab stab kill*
*kimble made me tea on arrival at home... I am a lot calmer now...*
Well I hadn't used Access before at all having never needed to - I avoided other M$ things too where possible. I made a bad attempt at MySQL for my database design courses at uni.
I can't see myself willingly using Access after this course - in fact I don't know if I want an M$ qualification when I HATE their software so much.
Hello! I've just friended you and I thought I'd introduce myself. I met you at London Bifest (and briefly at Manchester Bifest). I am the round one with red hair who was down from Manchester with Softfruit.
