Before you make a decision to hire someone who solicits paid work in these
(free) newsgroups, be aware that the Code of Conduct for these newsgroups
prohibits soliciting paid work. Do you really want to hire someone who
ignores the rules?

There is nowhere in the Code of Conduct for these newsgroups that prohibits
offering help with an Access application for a reasonable fee.

I have a copy of your current Word doc describing your needs and will try to
get back to you in the next day or so (free of charge).

That's very nice of you, John, but why don't you make similar offers to many
other OPs you respond to?

Further, you condone the actions of visio john and arno r but they never
make an offer like yours to any OP. In fact their conduct obviously violates
the Rules Of Conduct of the newsgroups and you condone their actions. OPs
need to be very wary of hypocrites in sheep's clothing.
