Microsoft Office 2007 has many ludicrous design decisions, but how's this for brilliant stupidity:
While trying to debug a form, I opened the "Subform Field Linker" dialogue box from the "Link child fields" line in the Data section of the Property Sheet. And there was a "Suggest" button, so I pressed it to see what would happne.
What happened was that I got a dialogue box showing 4 possible plain-English versions of SQL statements, and "None".
Here's the problem: Each line said "Show Categories Query for each record in Categories Query using " and then ran into the end of the text field.
I could not read the end of the line.
I could not scroll the text field sideways.
I could not even expand the size of the pop-up window, and therefore the size of the text field.
There was absolutely no way that I could find out what each of the four suggestions actually was.
