My impression is that like most newbies you wrote 1900 lines of superfluous code because you didn't know how to take advantage of built-in capabilities like inheritance.

I just finished a Forms application for an organization of about 1,800 people involving work flow management, time keeping, and billing and doubt I wrote more than 500. And anytime you can get 1800 people simultaneously working with your Access database ... write a paper about it and have it published.
