Wrestling Match

The new library database project is advancing well. I've got one more data-entry form to code, and then three or four data-viewing forms; the latter will be much easier than the former. I spent much of the last two days wrestling with one particularly intricate (by my non-professional standards) bit of code. It wasn't behaving the way I wanted, and I kept throwing in more kludges to save it. I finally realized what was going on: I had one checkbox which was bound to a Yes/No field, and I was assuming that ticking the box would change the Yes/No value. Things are apparently a bit more complicated than that. I wound up coding the box to explicitly make the change in the form's recordset, and that cleared things up. (I removed the gubbage from the rest of the code afterward.)
I should have this thing ready to go sometime this week.
:fingers crossed:
