@BlueSpruce, I'm sorry in my opinion but you are wrong. A floor in any building is designed to carry its own load as well as the estimated maximum load to be placed upon the floor. Any individual floor is not designed to carry the weight of two, or more loaded floors. Many buildings, those...

I suggest that you replace the macro solution with VBA. Code is (virtually) always preferred to macros. Maybe take a look at IslaDogs' Progress Bar which I would say is a sound and a preferrable solution to a macro. https://isladogs.co.uk/progress-bar/index.html

Once mild steel reaches a cherry heat it will begin to be easier to work. Most forging can happen at between 1000ºc and 1200ºc, with melting occurring around 1400ºc. According to Isaac Newton, force increases by the square of the speed. So faster = more force. Strength of materials works in the...

It has happened again, the Access World unexpected digression. So I'll reiterate: "Have to say I wasn't aware of this issue. My PCs are the mini box type which are 120mm square with an SSD fitted. Regarding the HDDs mentioned from what I can see they appear to get their power from the USB...

You can't be too thin, you can't be too rich and you can't have too many backups. Been one of my mottos for years. Pity having all three isn't so easy though. I used to see advice on how to destroy your old hard drive and never could see why it wasn't just easier to keep it.

Have to say I wasn't aware of this issue. My PCs are the mini box type which are 120mm square with an SSD fitted. Regarding the HDDs mentioned from what I can see they appear to get their power from the USB. Is that right? All of the HDDs I've used have had a 4pin male power recessed plug. I...

The views and understanding of the Royal Family in the USA is certainly at odds with opinion in Britain. The way it is seen in England is that Harry, along with all Royals are/were treated very well and living the life of a man of means. The Royals lack for nothing and live cosseted and...

Has Hamas ever asked for an end to this conflict? Or even a ceasefire?

At home. As a structural engineer I was surprised how they could collapse into themselves so quickly. Later I understood it was to do with the desire for the fastest lifts/elevators that left them vulnerable. Mind you, I don't believe that any building could withstand that level of force.

I've thought for maybe ten years, nothing is private anymore.

I'll look at those. I have experienced payment failures when buying in another country on a credit card. Everything proceeds until the final payment conformation that falls over. In the end I switched off the VPN and it went through Ok.

I see that Prince Harry of Montichito is trying to wheedle his way back in. Presumably it is due to Megan's nagging because they've run out of material with Netflix. Or maybe divorce is around the corner? The marriage has already lasted longer that I thought it would. Megan probably never tried...

I have been using Access since the last century and have never used a calculated field in a table. Mainly because I've had the impression, rightly or wrongly, that I'm not totally in control of them.

Why do so many sites now need you to confirm you are human? It must be a piece of spy software similar to CAPTCHA that logs some other site to log onto your PC. Generally, I will immediately close the prove you are human tickbox. Then find another that doesn't. I am always on a VPN, so I don't...

They are probably switching on the phone camera as well. All electric cars and some other newer cars have microphones and cameras inside and outside. MG and all other Chinese cars no doubt download everything for whatever reason. So if you have an MG, apart from knowing exactly where you have...
