Writing the First Game of the Year: Aftermath

When I'm done, I print out the game to read to Marjorie (see a prior post).

Then I take the Query 3 file and rename it with the spelled out name of the game, "January 5, 2011 1961."  I think add two fields, "Question No." (which gives me the autonumbered question numbers) and "Last Used".  I have to turn on the last two fields from "Group by" to "Expression" because Access is the worst program in the world and gives me that toggle to a field whether I want it or not (and I never want it) and despite the fact that the moment the query is changed from Design View to View I will get an error message. 

As I've been writing the questions, I've been filling in this field on the Books 14 database with "1/5/2011", only because I've been writing this blog, I've sort of lost my natural rhythm and I discover I've forgotten to do it about six times.  So I fix that, and then change the type of query from "Make Table Query" (which records the autonumbered data) to "Select Query" (which turns that off).  I save it again and I'm done.

I know the next game will be 1861 because Marjorie just gave me a great chronology on the Civil War for Chanukah.  I won't post as much about that game.
