Thank you for making this reply shorter!

Currently only Soil Components, though I could link Soil Mixtures to Photos if you wish.

Currently, Specimens and Containers.

Sorted? How?

Actually, there are three essentially equal trees: Specimens, Containers, Soils.

What do others think.

Just mentioning that as I tried to look at your access tables but there were so many lines crossing that I couldn't really make out what is happening there and I am not really sure with this table either.

I'll try to give it another shot...

I'm sometimes uncertain as to whether or not that would matter. It seems that getting feedback is like pulling teeth. Sure, people (not you) bitch and moan when they see something they don't like, but never offer a suggestion as to what they do want, either before or after they complain...

Oh, you called it right. Frankly, all the "You're doing a great job, Brownie" doesn't mean squat if I'm not being provided the resources (feedback) I need to get the job done. I'm asked "So when will this be done?", and also "Just wait until they get around to giving you the feedback you need." As should be obvious in the recent threads, even if I do wait, people don't bother to read what's already been covered, ask the same questions that have previously been dealt with, and still don't give me any more meaningful feedback!

Yes, I'm frustrated and a little angry (not with you)!
