1NF Violations *promoted* in MS Access?

[Tony Toews [MVP]]

<<We want to get folks off of spreadsheets.>>

We all know that some people (heck, *many many many* people; dept
secretaries etc) will *never* get away from their spreadsheet mentality. So
why are we making it easier for them to implement spreadsheet (flat) designs
IN a database? They should just stick with the spreadsheet. At least it's
easier to untangle later on when the app grows and needs to be ported to
something more robust (happens all the time).

But it's easier to understand the multi-valued field and work with it
on a form than creating two new tables and a new form and a subform on
the main form.

Sorry, this newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database product
that's part of Office Professional.

Your question would be best reposted to a newsgroup that deals with Outlook
Express.
