Nowhere Fast

Today has been one of those days where you don't seam to get anywhere fast. I worked most of the day on a couple of access databases I did ages ago but they both needed fairly big updates to them.

I ended up only working on one of them coz is took me ages to figure out how to do what I wanted, Access most be one of the most frustrating programs about. Nothing is ever straighforward, would much rather be working with mySQL and a browser frontend. I may do a quick example version of the same database I've been working on today but browser based after this month when I have more spare time at home.

I managed to fix a couple of problems this morning but struggled this afternoon trying to create a report that asked you several questions before producing the report. I finally figured out what I needed to just before home time, so tried to write it down before I left or will of forgotten it by tomorrow.

Wish I worked from home a couple of days a week, part of the reason I struggled this afternoon was coz everytime I was working on a more complex part I would get interupted and lost track of what I was doing. I am answering the phone tomorrow afternoon so no good trying to work on anything complex then as I wont get anywhere.
