    trying to count bats: log transit times and direction

    Ok, I see that I got the bug one wrong but I am more confused with your explanation. Shouldn't the data reflect the movements as such: Assumption: beam 1 is left, beam 2 is right Action: bat is flying left to right (beginning with before the bat enters the recording zone and ending after the...

    Irish Debt Crisis

    Can I get a paltry 80 million Sterling to bail out my own financial crisis? I may need to devalue my own worth soon without it and it would certainly affect the local economy (VERY local).

    trying to count bats: log transit times and direction

    And more questions: 1. What are the chances of "noise" - that is, a beam fails to trigger, a falling leaf triggers only one bean, a bat, flying at an extreme angle, triggers one beam and passes over the second, etc? 2. Are you required to maintain and consider the data in the current...

    trying to count bats: log transit times and direction

    Hi, I have been following this thread with some interest because my son is a zoologist and did his master's thesis on a study of nesting habits of the lesser myotis (little brown-legged bat) and the effects of riparian cutting by a timber company. Anyway, just to make sure I have the concept...

    Things that make you go, "Well OF COURSE!"

    This one is more of a "Things that make you go 'HUH?'". When I was visiting Northern Ireland in 2008, most of the fast food restaurants that served breakfast were touting "Free-Range Eggs!". Now, eggs from free-range chickens I could understand, but just how far can an egg range?

    What's wrong with this very simple code

    Very true. I was a bit hasty in answering. A better syntax would be: Function AutoFail(CSEVal97 as Integer, CSEVal98 as Integer, CSEVal99 as Integer) as Integer If CSEVal97 = 0 Then AutoFail = 0 Else AutoFail = CSEVal98 + CSEVal99 End if End function You should test your input for nulls...

    What's wrong with this very simple code

    You need to declare the type for the function: Function AutoFail(CSEVal97, CSEVal98, CSEVal99) as Integer If CSEVal97 = 0 Then AutoFail = 0 Else AutoFail = CSEVal98 + CSEVal99 End if End function

    Hi From Ireland

    Welcome! Ireland is obviously one of my favorite places (see my signature below). This place is a wealth of information with many true experts in the field. I am sure you can find the help you need.

    Things that make you go, "Well OF COURSE!"

    Use to have one of those cardboard-and-foil sunscreens you put behind your windshield to keep the sun from heating up your car. On the inside part it said "Warning! Remove sunscreen before driving." "Hey honey, I don't know why I can't see any oncoming cars!"

    Reasons for UDL?

    I am tasked right now with maintaining several VB.Net apps that use an Access backend with ADO. I don't know who wrote them and, in any event the authors are long gone. Each of the apps use UDL files to pass in the connection string. None are password-protected. I can't figure out why the UDL...

    Defining Global Variables

    I use a module I call "modGlobals" where I place all my globals I am going to use throughout the app, including arrays. The module contains one sub, called "initGlobals" called when the app opens to initialize values. Looks something like this: Global StringArray() As String Global gAnIntVar...

    Things that make you go, "Well OF COURSE!"

    Is it a custom in your part of the world to bury survivors, since by definition they are still alive?

    help! error msg, can't create new records

    There is no reason why a primary key can't have "meaning" but a primary key MUST: 1. Always be unique 2. Not be changed on a record... EVER 3. May not be deleted from the table unless all child records that refer to that key (via Foreign Key to Primary Key) are deleted first. A primary key...

    Things that make you go, "Well OF COURSE!"

    Heard this one on the news. "The funeral home had buried 6 dead corpses in the past week". First of all, they would not be corpses if they were not dead and second, I sincerely hope that it was "dead corpses" that they buried!

    Best/Worst President

    I don't disagree with much of what you say, but I will NOT vote for a third party candidate just because they are that. I will vote for any candidate that most closely matches my own ideas of what needs to be done in government and how to do it, regardless of party affliation (or lack of). The...

    Best/Worst President

    While jamemor's point is way to broad of a generalization to be factual (there are in fact many in Congress and the Senate who care very much about what they do and who they serve), your suggestion that we not vote for one of the two party candidates is unworkable right now for several reasons...

    Is this nonsense or have I missed something ?

    That is why I always: 1. include an example of exactly what I want in a field in a form, when formatting matters, such as "Date format should be 'mm/dd/yyy" 2. Validate ALL data in a module BEFORE inserting in or updating the database. #2 is important for a number of reasons other than...
