    Overview of subsequently added object properties that are only accessible via the "Properties" collection.

    To view a list of the properties of something, just add the expression to the watch window: It could be traversed using a loop, but it's handy to just open it from the watch window because you get to see how it is initialized, type, value, etc. To know which ones are not accessible using dot...

    Run your own LLM locally

    Yeah I heard they're moving their data centers to water abundant places too. Mitigate that by a nano-fraction if you run the thing locally. Sadly, I know most people would simply prefer the convenience of just using it online without giving it any thought.

    Run your own LLM locally

    When you're chatting with a model running locally, if you're on a moderately decent but humble computer like I am, you'll notice that the answers take like 2 seconds to start and they take a while to complete, depending on their length. It's nothing like the speed you're used to from Claude or...

    Run your own LLM locally

    By the way, you don't have to pay for any of this. About models: Depending on the models you choose, their capabilities. There are plenty of models for different purposes. For example, I installed an unrestricted model that can talk about anything, and it can also write code. Expect sporadic...

    Run your own LLM locally

    In case any of you needs to run a Large Language Model (LLM) locally, there are a few ways to do this, I will post what I found to be the simplest way. 1. Download and install LM Studio, I use Developer mode, you can choose another option. 2. Download a model, more on this below. 3. Do this...

    Sub vs Function - who win?

    For a MS Access developer who just wants to get things done: Use sub for routines that don't need to return a value Use functions for things that need to return a value and things that will be used from MS Access' GUI expression fields and queries. So, that's my POV, OP. I don't see any...

    Last time form design has changed.

    You can try using this from a watch CurrentProject.AllForms("name_of_your_form").DateModified or From the immediate window ?CurrentProject.AllForms("name_of_your_form").DateModified or In a line of code Debug.Print CurrentProject.AllForms("name_of_your_form").DateModified or Right click from...

    Pasting table to a post

    Here's a thread where I found the underlying cause and posted a solution to it, it has not been fixed apparently: it's the automatic markups that generate when you paste it here, they're only visible if you click Toggle BB code from the forum's message input box...

    Detection of Duplicate Question at Posting

    I think there's a supply and demand thing to be said about this forum. Stack Overflow has (or had) a huge amount of demand relative to its supply of people answering questions. Here it’s the opposite: you've got like ten people ready to answer, but only two or three threads appearing each day...

    Late Control binding to make Forms Field independant.

    Thanks, I wrote that precisely because I wasn't sure what imb meant by map, best guess was folder. Since map = folder indeed, I was able to go further with the example. I see a lot of features for the textboxes when you double click them, I see a lot of string manipulation, even spell check and...

    Late Control binding to make Forms Field independant.

    @Imb I just tested the sample file and I couldn't make it work. I put all files in the same folder and then a form with a message appeared. After discarding the form with the message, another form opened with 3 buttons. Clicking on them returns error 3043. A few thoughts about the situation: 1...

    Late Control binding to make Forms Field independant.

    There is already notable interest in OP's solution. Many members of the community have shown some level of interest in seeing it in action and experimenting with it. In fact, if there was no interest, we would not have made it to page two of this thread. The idea behind it seems solid. Many of...

    Late Control binding to make Forms Field independant.

    Based on previous talks with OP, I think the method is using unbound forms with many unbound controls each. On form load, OP maps some table to the unbound controls and hides unused controls. He then attaches common behaviors to the controls in use. I suppose the tables contain the metadata to...

    Not all strings are equal

    I'm not really sure about the whole point of this exercise, please forgive me for that. Anyway, watching the replication id field from a recordset returns this: {guid {4384FD92-A138-4F05-A2F7-129B6F3C49E7}} And when I open the table, the datasheetview form used to visualize the data shows the...
