    uBlock Origin Anyone?

    Most of you probably already know about this gem, but the uBlock Origin extension for your browser will get rid of all those annoying YouTube adds while watching your favorite videos. You might have to update it regularly to keep up with the on going war to block or disallow add blockers, but...

    Solved How to transform this data?

    I have a text file full of data that appears like the following example data. I'm looking for a way to transform that data into proper tabular data in Excel so that I can apply the resulting data as the source for mail merge labels. The end goal is to create proper hard drive labels. Title =...

    Better Ballots In Elections

    Of course, in the US every state has their own election rules, but whatever the rules are, if there is no way to audit the results fairly by both sides, it's meaningless. Aside from the VoterID being a sensible move, I had the idea that when using any electronic voting system of any kind, there...

    Something is missing from all of my forms in design view

    Not sure what is going on with Access today. I think it started happening this morning, but I just may not have noticed until earlier this morning but all of my forms are missing the very left portion where the ruler measurments are. This includes the upper left hand corner where the form...

    No exe files allowed in Gmail attachments

    Please tell me there is a way around this nonsense. I have tried to rename extensions of the exe files themselves but their av scanner is looking at the actual file header and determining the actual type of file it is. I know I can use another file upload service, I'm trying to avoid that...

    Solved Prevent user from activating a form

    This is kind of a puzzle in that, I know that this must be possible because I seen another talented developer create a form like this. In fact, this is my attempt at duplicating one of his modern looking forms. If you look at the screen shot you can probably surmise that this form is actually...

    Rounded Corners on all forms and apps

    I recently watched a video that shows a guy designing forms, and by default, his forms had rounded corners! (see the 1:26 mark in the video). This was very confusing to me as this didn't seem possible without some windows API code to create the effect. Well as it turns out, those rounded corners...

    Jeffrey Epstein suicide or foul play?

    Let's face it, the amount of elite people that wanted to shut Epstein up forever is huge. But how did they do it and make it look like suicide? Bill Barr said he would look into the whole thing, but all he really did was look at the video evidence that was available and concluded no one ever...

    Report runs fine with Access but not the runtime

    The report I have runs perfectly fine on any system that has MS Access installed on it, but comes up with a Enter Parameter Value pointing to the Date identifier when running on a machine that only has the runtime installed. I trouble shot this down to a text box in the footer that contains the...

    US Supreme Court Leak

    Well this is pretty big news here in the US tonight. Apparently, Politico has gotten a hold of a leaked preliminary decision on overturning the infamous Roe v. Wade decision. Hope they find the leaker and disbarr them immediately.

    Worst programming language ever?

    Solved What is the official name for these characters 1$, 1&, 1#, 1%

    This is a hard thing to duckduckgo for. What is the official designation or name for numbers, variables and functions that are suffixed with special characters. I know what they do and how they work, just have no idea what they are called in VBA parlance.

    Access Database Cloud Site

    Should be getting a demo of this next week, this looks real promising for those clients that must have their Access App accessible from anywhere. Of course there are service fee's involved but it looks reasonable to me. It's on a per seat basis, and depending on how you want to use it it could...

    Unbound vs Bound Forms

    I'm sure this has been brought up many times in various different places but after doing a search, I didn't find a nice one stop shop thread on it explaining the reasoning behind the views (maybe I'm blind). It would be nice to create one single place on the forum where all of our combined...

    Maintaining a Custom Sorted List

    I have various projects that require custom sorting on either alpha numeric lists of items or just custom groupings. This of course uses a helper column with a list of numbers that can force any sort order I want. Maintaining those lists has been a pain so I finally broke down and made a form...

    What's your favorite bottle of wine?

    I like sampling different wines and usually gravitate towards the Cabernnet Sauvignon and some Merlot's. One that I found recently is Dreaming Tree 2019. Not bad at all.

    Solved Use attachments for html related files, is that possible?

    I would like to use the concept for using a browser control to display a color picker as shown on Daniel Pinaeult's excellent article found here: Access Color Picker This requires having separate files in folders as most web projects do. I was thinking maybe all those files could be stored in...
