The first thing I would suggest is using the addressbook in Outlook. How applicable this is to your situation depends on the number of differing mass mailouts you require. I would think that you should already have most of your contacts already in here. Then its simply a case of adding a...

I'd love to try haggis. Is the supermarket one acceptable? Or should I order one online from Scotland. How do you cook it??? Hayley, I'm hoping you can help me out here so I can convince my fellow sassenachs that it really is a delicacy...

I'm not sue quite what you mean by "list emails into Outlook" and "make a database and from that database send them to Outlook". Are you wanting to look at the emails you already have in Outlook, or are you simply wanting to send emails from Access? If its the latter, this is relatively easy...

I would agree there Brian, although I was only 10 when I got my first computer (an Acorn Electron). I rejoined the computer world at University when I got an Amiga at a fraction of the price of a PC then. Happy days :-) I think most reasonable people will Brian ;-) I think I got bored with...

LOL Agreed. A little like my brain ;-) Agreed. The sensible and reasoned answer. I am playing devil's advocate here really. For all sorts of reasons, I think this century will bring about huge changes in technology. Whether or not these changes are going to be the ones I imagine remains to be...

Firstly, great thread title :-) One of my favourite stories I read to my gf's daughter, along with "Oh the thinks you can think". Secondly; France: Paris Frejus Aurillac Various places in Normandy (as a family we went to France a lot) Benidorm (Spain) (my parents lived there almost ten years...

I'll take a look at those later. I think we are getting sidetracked here though. I don't believe Open Source is specialised; I believe it is better adapted to survival than closed source. If you do use open source I am sure you will agree that the average Linux distro can be used for many...

You need to post the code for us to be able to help you.

Is the Excel file ok? Do you get #Num! in there? This generally means an error in a formula in Excel.

I think Intelligent Design is nonsense. See my thread on the subject. I think you've totally misunderstood me there. Not as far as I am aware. The socratic method, as I understood it, was that you take something that someone has said; in this case it was you saying that programming software is...

This seems to me like an internal problem. Not a lot I can do to help. You only other alternative is to use a query to change the datatypes and maintain your own tables/queries.

Never said he was? Yeah, I understand your analogy. However, I used the Socratic principal to demonstrate that I believe its an incorrect analogy. There may be some similarities, but fundamentally they are different. One of the main principals of evolution is that it occurs through random...

That's because its a linked Excel table. If you want to change the properties, open the linked Excel spreadsheet and make/save the changes there.

Not quite. Evolution isn't done by design but by a random process. Software is explicitly designed, so its fundamentally different. Unless of course you believe in "Intelligent Design" of course ;-) Nice analogy, but according to the Socratic principal, I just cannot agree with it at all. This...

VBA is much preferred over macro's; best way would be to get a book on the subject. I have Sams "Teach Yourself Access 2002 Programming" which is a good introduction. Once you have started, and know the basics, you will find it much easier to find answers to your questions in this forum, rather...

In order for people to use Data Access Pages they need to be able to download and install the Microsoft Office Web Components. This is not always possible, so you would be better using something like ASP which has no other requirements other than a browser at the user end. Also, Access has...

How long would it last? What a stupid question. You think it would disappear if they stopped going??? I'm off to talk to the cat, I can have a better discussion with it than you.

Number one, I didn't even notice any spelling mistakes. It was a put down, like in the Italian Job. Having my parents live for ten years in one of Spains oldest and most famous tourist resorts does not give me any expertease in finance (although by trade I am a finance technician), yet it does...

Regardless of what wars have been fought "in the name of", its mostly about resources, namely territory, secondly natural resources. Spot Quiz: Who in history conquered the most territory? (No prize, just for fun :) )
