Prior to (end of the last major ice age) around 6,500 to 8,000 years ago Britain was joined to Europe, so people would have wandered back and forth. An area now under the North Sea now given the name Doggerland no doubt after Dogger Bank a shallow area in the North Sea. Early Britons were...

Changing management predicts so much but often gives so little. I have lost count of the number of companies that took 50 years to get to where they were and were then destroyed in less than five with a takeover.

I have a comprehensive system written for structural fabrication that does just that. It controls manufacturing, finishes, delivery notes, labour costs, and drawing issue including revisions, approval and variation orders etc. Just not sure how I can pass it on as I'm retired and don't want to...

Years ago, back in the olden days speed was a real issue to me with Access. Then I read abut the permanent connection and it wasn't a problem from that day on. Windows97 was probably the first OS where database systems benefited (since C-DOS). Before that some thought that to pull a record 3 to...

I wonder what the primary object of this is. There is an easy foolproof solution to retaining and not losing your latest version of an Access application and that is called a sound backup system. A start would be maybe not keeping all of your backups in a drawer under the computer. Then advance...

AWF is no doubt just about the best advert that Microsoft has for Access. It is also I think the only main Access support site. Little doubt that it has taken over from buying books on the subject. It will provide the answer to anything that can and has been asked. Microsoft should be more...

Maybe this should be titled be careful watching BBC videos and reports? Hundreds a now complaining about bias in trans reporting: search for : bbc pro-trans bias damaged our children I have found the BBC biased in reporting anything to do with climate also. They protect and project the designer...

It is believed the ancient Picts that inhabited Scotland from the late Iron Age until the around the 10th century AD were black, as explained in a new history book for CHILDREN. It is believed by these crackpots that the ancient Picts who inhabited Scotland from the late Iron Age until the...

It does appear that after just a fortnight Pat has been forgotten and everyone has moved on!;)

From my experience I do not believe that to be correct. However, I can appreciate that once posted it can be difficult to remove. Which is different. Does a poster upload with the intention that it is copyright free? Is the post the poster's work or is it owned by someone else. Sections of code...

Ricky Gervais has a sideline making vodka and he creates his own adverts. This is one.

The general opinion is that a Carrington would not be a whole World event, or even whole America event. If it was World wide, you'd probably starve within a month when the food and water runs out. After the stores have been stripped of their food, those people with so called foresight and...

I am a little disappointed that Pat has had her forum posts regarding Access advice removed. Her opinions and advice over the years must have helped hundreds if not thousands of Access users. If everyone did that the forum would become insignificant. Additionally, I am surprised that postings...

I would think that if your generator was connected when a Carrington hit, then it would blow that as well. I considered a UPS but imagine that would blow with everything else. I wonder where you would be with insurance for replacements. Presume that if you asked your insurance company they'd say...

The same as any localised event, cyclone, earthquake etc. But little consolation to the people in New York if no other location was affected. It is a random and unpredictable event.
