The U.S. Order of the Purple Heart is the oldest military decoration in the United States. It was founded by George Washington. Currently, it is awarded for those members of the US Armed Forces who are wounded or Killed while on active duty in a war zone. Not everyone has one and the criteria...

I was in the Orange Bowl in Miami in 1970 to see the second Dallas/Pittsburgh Super Bowl. While I am not a big fan of American football, the game was excellent. It see-sawed back and forth with both teams holding the lead for about the same amount of time. Late in the final period Pittsburgh...

What part of did you not understand. English is my third language and I got it.

Personally, I would demand the British government get off their high horse and join the Euro parade. :D Sorry, that was probably less than helpful but I couldn't resist.

Could not agree more Brian. A sport which depends on "judges" opens itself up to controversy (you give my participant a good score and I'll do the same for yours). Figure skating for example has been guilty of this for years. Watched a bit of the boxing final this AM. I forget the weight...

In your Report QUERY under the criteria for AddressID try [Forms]![formname]![Text313]

Dewsbury: Listen to Banana. He knows. As stated by max, the link he has offered you is probably the best guide around for security. I don't believe you can change the .mdw once the security is installed. Your best bet is to download the guide and read it. Then start again on a copy of the...

A good place to start would be to cut the budget for American footaball in US Colleges...like we'll ever live to see that. If an American college recruits a runner from another country and that runner performs well for that college, then the contract has been fufilled. If that runner then...

Is the trailer about 40 minutes longer than it has to be? The movie certainly is.

All of the best on your special day.

Haven't given this much thought as merging to Word is not my speciality, but here goes: Create a query which will prompt the user for the required parameters. Use the query to mail merge to a Word document. When you open the Word document, the Access query should prompt you for the query...

Which is why I for one won't do it. I show up for work on time. I leave at the appointed time. If you can't complete you duties in the time allotted, you aren't working hard enough. If they give me a project with an impossible deadline, I inform the boss that this will require overtime and I...

A female co-worker who had just broken up with her boyfriend asked me to be her escort to a wedding recently. Seems she had baby-sat the bride when she was a youngster. Being an agreeable sort and doing nothing else that evening I said yes. We arrived to discover it was a "Christian" wedding...

I would expect payment for the time I was not at the office, dealing with office business. On the other hand, if it is a condition of employment that you are "on call" 24/7 then you are already being compensated for this service. I had a boss tried to palm a blackberry on me. Me: What's this...
