I work in quailty assurance where it is nessceary to take a random samples to preform audits. I developed an application that first imports items ready to be audit from an excel spreadsheet to access. I then randomly select my samples and update a sample table. Audits are prefomed on the items sampled and the results are recorded in a form. Not only is this useful, but it can even be used as the foundation of a business solution and a database application. Syed, open your mind up and think outside the box. Just because you can’t figure out how to use something in your own little word doesn’t mean it is useless. Think twice before you comment.

On the contrary, nearly everything I write comes from first-hand experience, and I got the inspiration for this article from practical task I was asked to take care of. Don’t assume.

Simply useless and misleading and cannot be used for any practical purpose.
