    Solved problem opening a .csv file in excel - dates all messed up

    After some testing, this is the combination of previous format and import format that worked for an english installation of Office. The installation of Office wasn't the culprit, it was the Regional settings of Windows. If the system's date has the MDY format, this code will work: Sub testEng()...

    The records not sorted by the record ID field in ascending order in a continuous form after adding new records

    Your form has an OrderBy property where you can specify the field or fields to order by. If your form is using a query string as source, you can add the OrderBy clause too.

    Closing Form Instances

    You can store your forms in an array, collection, dictionary, or custom object. Each option has its quirks. You might even consider creating a custom form store using a class with methods designed for handling multiple form instances. Anyway, it is a lazy Sunday. I am just passing by to suggest...

    How to access the same database file between two projects in a Visual Studio Solution?

    I'd create a web API that both projects can access and be done with it. If an .accdb file is what I must use, then I'd put the file in a Windows server. That way, if either of the projects sends an HTTP request, the server simply connects to the .accdb file, does its business and returns what...

    Television episode tracker

    The ones I've seen come with an endpoint to fetch "now playing" or "popular", they come with pagination parameters, so you can easily browse through them. They also come with endpoints to search by title, year, genre, etc. You don't really need a db for that, because a browser control can simply...

    Sorry about that, I merely tried to replicate OP's screenshot the best I could. In a real world scenario, it would probably be better to utilize one of the REST APIs out there and a web browser handles that much better than Access' built-in tools.

    I know you're trying to learn, but if you get stuck, this file could help. I'm doing the no-seasons table approach here.

    Problem "With Communicating with OLE Server" Using Non-Latin Alphabet Databases

    Well, the internals of Access are in english and Access is an ancient application that has not received a lot of love by its developers, so I believe it is my obligation to test that kind of thing after the testing done and shown in post 21. I'll check what happens if I change locale.

    Problem "With Communicating with OLE Server" Using Non-Latin Alphabet Databases

    I changed the application's language to Japanese and Arabic, and I was able to open the FormBotoes.accdb file without any issues the same way I was able to open it using the regular english version and the spanish version. In Post 21, my main point was that I successfully used the arabic file...

    Gemini CLI ------ WOW!!!!

    These CLI tools turn you into a QA guy, a tester of some sort. It helps tremendously, but that comes with the cost of potentially not knowing what the hell is going on. It might work, but then again, it might do stuff you don't even know it's doing. Then again, you could ask it to do things a...

    Problem "With Communicating with OLE Server" Using Non-Latin Alphabet Databases

    Great question, I simply used intelliSense, I recognize the properties of a section object. They look like this. Now, here's another issue I see with Section objects. I switched from english to japanese. This is what shows in intelliSense: (You tell me what it says @KitaYama ) But when you...

    Problem "With Communicating with OLE Server" Using Non-Latin Alphabet Databases

    I tried and did it step by step this time. Procedure: 1. Go into the immediate window 2. Type the class name of the form with a problem, followed by a dot to trigger intellisense. The idea is to manually check if there's any element with a weird name. 3. Found 3 elements with weird names. 4. I...

    Problem "With Communicating with OLE Server" Using Non-Latin Alphabet Databases

    I will try to inspect if there's a solution. I was able to open the arabic file by renaming objects with names written with arabic characters to export and import the form as text. After that, the file worked for me. It's interesting that my samples are causing issues for you, @KitaYama...

    Solved Trying to get vertical lines that stay in the correct position.

    I tried, but: Your Excel file has a lot of tabs and it's difficult to understand what you really want to do. You should upload only a tab with the dataset and another with the chart you have problems with. If possible, you should upload an image of what you want to see.

    LLM's Are nothing but Hackers!!!

    Not sure this is how you should think about it. You should not assume it's reading the internet like a book. It has been trained to respond a certain way based on its parameters, and the responses are always different, which means it's all statistics at play. This is why you should always try...
