I have been playing with databases since around 1977. Only consumer level products migrating to Access in 1997 as part of a management diploma I did then.

Since 1998 I have had a vision for a tool I can use to enhance my work. My work is diverse and covers so much if I start I would struggle to stop to list the types of things I can help with. As an idea...Microbiological problems shut a public facility I helped with the technical fix not once...but twice (different places). On another site I deducted through scientific method the cause of a solar heating system that wasn't working that no one could solve for over 10 years of looking.

My plan with the tool I envisioned in 1998 was to assist and automate significant amounts of administration for my field staff and I to leverage our time to increase productivity.

I have rewritten this package several times although in fact perhaps only complete rewrite 4 times. As the tool has been in use one way or another since that time.

To date I have used hybrids of Access, Excel, QuintaDB, Google Blogs and SQL as backend to achieve what was needed. Three years ago I started down the ASP.NET path thinking this was the appropriate path to bring it all together however got ripped by freelancing contractors. Consequently I have decided 2020 is the year I am going to get this as close to perfect as I can and I will bring the development back to SQL and Access with field staff using PowerApps.

I have only done a Udemy course once on SQL, and I don't think it was very thorough. However I am nutting my way along with help from here.

So in case I forget to say it. Thanks all for your help.
