I'm experimenting with a new series of articles titled, "Under 100." With the aid of graphics, animated gifs, and economy of language, I will attempt to explain several topics related to Microsoft Access, VBA, and relational databases in one hundred words or fewer.

By working within this self-imposed constraint, I hope to boil down complex topics into only their essential elements. 

Visit the [Under 100 tag page](https://nolongerset.com/tag/under-100/) to find all the articles in this series. 

I'm taking topic requests; leave a comment below.

*How much is one hundred words?* 

*There are exactly 100 words between the two horizontal rules above. Note: I won't be counting the excerpt/subheading text, bottom-of-the-page links, or image credits against the 100-word limit.*
