I'm glad you have time to scrutinize everyone's posts, and then post your own
messages pointing out all the errors, holes, non-PC statements, etc. in
everyone else's messages. Perhaps if I had as much free time as you, I could
scrutinize my posts and make sure I'm not going to offend anyone in the
entire world before I post them. But unfortunately, in my job when I need
information, I have to focus on getting that info and not much else.
And I'm not stupid enough to think I could learn everything there is to know
about VBA and/or database security in one day. I just want to lay a
foundation on which I can gradually build (as my time permits).

TC has a long and honourable record of providing advice and support in this
group: and for what it's worth I did not see anything in his post that
deserved a such snitty response. It is easy for some USAians to assume that
it is only their countrymen who use the Internet, but that does not make it
true. Read your original request and subsequent messages again: referring
to "all over the country" means that you still have not connected with the
fact that the world does not stop at your eastern and western seabords.
There is a Georgia in Asia; perhaps there's an Alabama in Australia too?
Perhaps if you had take the time^W courtesy to read _anyone's_ post before
sending your own, you would have noticed the normal rules of politeness.
You are not alone in having a job: everyone here is vounteering unpaid in
his or her own time. A sense of place and of decorum is not a lot to ask
for in return.

...and there's me thinking it was only the Scottish that use the internet.
Happy Hogmanay!

Thanks for your comment, Tim.
I've had exactly the same response, once before, in an identical
situation. It's amazing how angry some people get, when their world
view is challenged!
I guess that all of Gwen's programs require entry of cost in US
dollars, and reject all postcodes unless within 5 miles of where she
wrote the program :-)
Cheers,
TC
