Member Profile:
I am a fledgeling programmer.  I have worked in the petrochemical industry for 16 years, and started poking around with MS Access in 1993, "developing" an application to track weld activity and associated inspections.  I've been tweaking on it for 15 years now.

I only just started writing my own SQL and VB code in the past year, and Experts Exchange has been the best thing that ever happened to me.  My job title is now "programmer", although I only work for one client at a small facility, and only have this one set of "programs" that deals with this one company's activities, and really I have no formal training and very little knowledge and limited skills.  But I own a lot of books, and when I have time, I read them.  Thus has my skillset grown steadily over the years.  My growth curve shot up exponentially when I got my EE membership.

I am now using SQL Server for my back end, and plan on creating applications with Visual Studio and gradually phasing Access out completely.  Eventually.
