DunbarX recently lamented the lack of stupid new user questions. As I
privately communicated to hi & Jacque, while not a new user, I certainly
have stupid questions in abundance.
So here's mine on custom properties & arrays:
I d/l Mark's stack on the subject. Here are my comments (no criticism of
Mark intended):
1. That's rather alot of work to go through for a stack that would have,
at best, 3 or 4 cards worth of data.
2. I'm willing to concede that, for such an employee database on the
order of where I work, with probably ~7,000 employees, Mark's solution
likely makes better sense from both a programming standpoint as well as a
speed of execution standpoint.
3. I am, however, willing to also point out that, for some
normal human newcomer, if they're told they should NEVER EVER save data
in a stack having multiple cards and multiple fields, they're gonna tell
you that's why they stick with PowerPoint.
4. I think #4 above defeats the purpose. We were all stupid normal
humans at one point. Some of us (moi) still are. There has to be some
threshold at which Mark's approach makes sense and underneath that it
simply doesn't matter. What is that threshold and why does it matter at
that point?
Kindest thanks,
Judy
