G’day all.

I think it might be a good idea if someone went to the Sample Databases Forum and either passed or rejected the submissions.

If moderators do not have the permission to execute that function they should be given it.

Regards,
Chris.

If Chris has any in the pipeline waiting to be approved - I'd certainly like to see them. Hes one of the names I look out for for some new and innovative stuff.

Otherwsie though a few more rejections wouldn't go amiss.

Sample databases shouldn't be any old Tom, Dick and Kens tripe.

G’day Paul and thanks for the kind words.

I have had one sitting there for… how long I don’t know???
It’s an upgrade for the ‘Google Maps and Streets’ which now includes multiple destinations… waypoints.

Regards,
Chris.

Yep - that certainly sounds like one I'd like to see.

Keep up the good work. (as if you wouldn't anyway!)

I remember the first post I saw of yours, on a thread I was involved in. Instantly I recognised your name in future would be a beacon to be guided by. I haven't been disapointed since.

Cheers.

A beacon? Christ, I’ve never been called that before. :D

If posters to the Sample Databases Forum are overlooked then we might loose something, from old or new posters, that which may be worthwhile.

I believe I have a few posts in an existing thread on that forum that have not appeared yet. I stopped trying to get mods attention over it, because apparently they have a hard time finding my posts. Also, I believe you guys havent seen V1.01 of Chaos, and now I have V2 ready to roll-out. If I post it here, who knows if you guys will see it anytime soon. :( Thats too bad, because I have made some significant improvements in V2.

...Sample databases shouldn't be any old Tom, Dick and Kens tripe.

I suppose that was directed at me. If so I apologize for the unpolished samples I sometimes post. All of them were placed there after I put them together for a specific question/thread so that I could use them again to help another user if needed.

If they are helpful for others that is all that matters Ken.

Well, it appears that the ‘powers that be’ are not in the remotest bit interested in servicing this thread or the Sample Database Forum for the average user.
(They can and have for themselves but not for us mere mortals.)

And so I will make a suggestion; let’s post our Sample Databases in this Forum instead.

That way we can see what’s being held up through inaction and, in the meantime, other members may put them to some use.

So, here’s my first example as it should have appeared in the Sample Databases Forum: -

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G’day all.

Attached is a small Access 97 database for storing and viewing the Google Maps™ maps and street views system.
(Tested from A97 to A2K7)

Once addresses are stored in the database provisions are made to…
1. Ask Google to plot the directions from a start address to a destination address, with waypoints.
2. Ask Google to display the street view of the start address, select as required
3. Email the direction information and URL to a contact.
4. Email the street view information and URL to a contact.
(The Email facilities require Microsoft Outlook and will not work with Outlook Express.)

Please note that not all paths between addresses can be resolved, usually due to water ways between them.
If this happens and the destination address is within the USA you should see a central USA map displayed.
Similarly, if an unresolved destination address is within Australia then you should get a map of Australia.

Plots between Australia <> USA may be resolved via Japan but it does seem to require a certain amount of rowing.

Please view the online help for the method of use.

As always, have fun with it and regards,
Chris.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that wasn’t too hard was it?

So now please everyone, post your submissions in this Forum so that even if the ‘powers that be’ take no action then at least the other members of this site may profit from them. (I think that was the intention of this site and hopfully it still is.)
But if any administrator or moderator wants to reply to this thread then could they please say why they have not addressed this issue before now.

Regards,
Chris.

I presume I have one lost in the queue: Arrays, collections, and the cinema.

Regards,
Tim
