So, t'was not a bug,
as first we'd mused,
and spoke with the "ughh";
but, records were not used.

In Help, F1, MSDN Search or whereever one is able,
One cannot find a mention;
Of empty Recorsources or blank tables,
This knowledge needs retention.

Who will store this in their head,
And keep 'til they're old;
Not me, I'm tired, and sick, and going to bed;
To try and get over this nasty cold.
