Been working on a fun little project today. A system where registered users of the database can send messages to each other (also replying to those messages).

Some images from the database are below.
Let me know what you think.

What do the different colours mean?

In fact, this forum could be put into an Access front end if Richard would allow it. We could post to this forum, but on Access forms. Access can link to remote databases, just like a web interface can link to them.

It would need to be a Web API otherwise you'd have to get very specific with the permissions people could wreak havoc with a direct connection to the db.

On the Message list form Green is the currently selected message Gray is read messages Red is replies On the Main Menu the labels with the numbers Red is unread messages Green is read messages

That's a clever repurpose of access. I like it.
