Two things...
1) Quit top posting
and
2) Quit trolling

I'll probably never need to use this particular method to get into the
mythtv database, but I'm happy someone out there contributed something
to the community, even if you think it's lame or stupid.  If you don't
like it, don't use it.  David S had a need, fulfilled it, then shared
his solution - Thanks David.  Then you go and act like it was a stupid
waste of his time, and apparently yours as well because you had to
respond to let the world know how you felt.  Then, you complain that
it's not a robust enough solution and that you expect a complete user
interface in Access with nifty graphics and buttons.
