In this Quick Queries tutorial, I will address a variety of user-submitted questions focused on practical Microsoft Access issues. We'll explore the difference between using nulls and empty strings for field updates and their impact on space efficiency and query performance. You'll also learn strategies for managing large database files nearing the two-gigabyte limit, including database splitting and using SQL Server. I'll provide solutions for avoiding accidental code changes across multiple databases by leveraging shared modules. Additionally, we'll cover tips for using VBA to launch multiple queries and advanced techniques for optimizing field searches in databases with millions of records.
