    Screwtape - when our ways of thinking are used against us

    Interesting post! I actually own the book, as a Christian friend of mine sent it to me a LONG time ago. I generally enjoy reading CS Lewis (I read Mere Christianity approx. 20 years ago) and I started reading it and at some point, I was just unable to make the time, so it's really been on my...

    Freedom of Speech - Protests in Ontario Canada

    Great post, and you raise a lot of excellent points! I completely agree that something has gone really wrong with society where in the name of protecting vulnerable minority groups who have historically faced discrimination, the law somehow neglects when members of those same groups commit...

    Freedom of Speech - Protests in Ontario Canada

    To to clarify the obvious: - I do realize that you introduced your post by saying that your thinking was when you were a child, but I think it goes without saying that when you try to typify a group of 38 million people you're bound to encounter a few counter examples that contradict however it...

    Online Faxing service - COLOR fax?

    I guess you mean that you can use a Shell command to send faxes with the services? I hope you're right. Of course APIs almost never have documentation for VBA so you have to wing it, IF it's possible. I have seen some that will take a cURL command, which I BELIEVE is built into Windows so you...

    Online Faxing service - COLOR fax?

    Got it. Thanks for clarifying! :) The reason I thought I'd ask is because sometime "soon" I will be looking into faxing from Access and I thought that if you (or anyone else) knew of a good service and used it successfully then someone could help me with a head start. I figured it couldn't hurt...

    Online Faxing service - COLOR fax?

    Just to clarify: did you use faxing services with Access or in some other way? I know that Access hasn't been mentioned in the thread but in the context of the forum, I thought you might have meant using Access.

    Microsoft to block Office VBA macros by default

    Like many things in life, that's only minor IF you know how to solve it. The article doesn't state how clearly that information will be conveyed to the person trying to activate the spreadsheet/Word doc/Access app.

    Microsoft to block Office VBA macros by default

    From what I gather in the article: - I am not sure how Windows can determine the source of an application but I do remember this kind of thing way back in the Win XP era where you had to click unblock on the file properties. - You might be thinking of setting a Trusted Location? This requires...

    Microsoft to block Office VBA macros by default

    I don't know if people have seen this but it might affect a number of Access users, so in case it helps to be aware: Microsoft to block Office VBA macros by default It seems to only affect if the application came from the internet, but people do use the web to distribute apps.

    Slow Access via LAN and windows 10

    All of these methods of good practice when designing and deploying an Access app are important and should be followed. But it raises the question: WHY did it work well over Win 7 and is suddenly slow on Win 10? I've heard of this happening with some of my own users, to be honest. (Note: MOST of...

    Is that main form bound to any table? Have you tried closing it and then splitting the database?
