Clearly you were confused following the long discussion of everyone's  
favorite write-only language.

small enough obhate: MS Access, despite seeming to accept the Windows  
concept of "regionalization," will not accept, say, "10,00" even  
though it's a perfectly cromulent number in French if the database  
was created in English. Okay, fine, whatever; your snail-eating,  
ruffle-wearing virgules aren't welcome here. The really hateful part  
is once you've clicked in a number field, it tells you you're fucked  
before you even type anything. And then the helpful and repetitive  
error messages from Jet take over until you can manage to kick the  
power cord out of the wall.

I would go on about company policies that non-windows systems are  
beyond the pale and it will take another year before they even  
"certify" a 64-bit windows, but that belongs on a different hate list.

yes, it might be VBA
and it might be Jet;
I don't care enough
to narrow it down
