    NASA Study Indicates Antarctica is Gaining More Ice Than It's Losing -

    Actually I think a lot of people, at least in Australia, confuse climate change with pollution. As an example, last May we has a Federal election. One of the electorates which had been held for all time by the conservative party was won by an independent lefty who was very much funded by a...

    NASA Study Indicates Antarctica is Gaining More Ice Than It's Losing -

    The amazing thing in Australia is people/political parties from the left rave on that if Australia does put a windmill ion every second corner we will have a climate emergency. Australia produces less than 1.5% of the CO2. If Australia shut down and turned off every power point it will zero...

    NASA Study Indicates Antarctica is Gaining More Ice Than It's Losing -

    Assuming man made climate change is true (althought I don't agree) I can't see where an average increase in temperature of 2C is a big deal. In Australian and I am sure it would be the same in America, the average temperature difference between different parts is a lot more than 2C but they...

    NASA Study Indicates Antarctica is Gaining More Ice Than It's Losing -

    I thin science can be broadly put into two categories. First up is the 2+2 = 4 stuff. This is definite and not a political thing. For example at standard atmospheric pressure water boils at 100C/212F. However, if when the water boils the thermometer says 95C or 105C we know the pressure on the...

    Help me to work my first app. in access

    As above. Plus Select queries allow for fields to be created that are calculations or functions. A very simple example would be if the table had a field for FirstName and a field for LastName a field could be created in the query where the two names were joined as in John Smith and that could...

    It is not 2 + 2 =4 science or V = U +AT etc. What the 2+ 2 =4 sciences all have in common is no political debate and with in general the left and right lining up on different sides. Personally, I am happy to go along with a 2 degree C increase in temperature but the difficult one is what...

    If all the ice of Antarctica went into the ocean what would be the change in temperature of the ocean. Latent heat of fusion to be considered.

    Access 2003 V 2016 What can 2016 do?

    With C format I think on the forum in either specimen DBs or Code someone has made the CF so you have a lot more than 3. I think I have it here somewhere. With security I have never had anyone with an issue and even if one was hacked it probably would not matter. Even if they could stuff the...

    Access 2003 V 2016 What can 2016 do?

    When you said 7. New linked table manager I was not thinking properly and was think relationships. Most I do a split as usually on 2 or 3 and sometimes 4 computers. One thing I have always done and I know is frowned on but the DB on the "home computer" is always complete and not split...

    Access 2003 V 2016 What can 2016 do?

    Thanks for that. Security does not worry me and whatever I sell goes out as 2016. What are 2. Themed controls on forms 7. New linked table manager …..Virtually everything I make is an alteration/extraction from a very large and "do everything" Access db. I still hate the ribbon. The...

    Access 2003 V 2016 What can 2016 do?

    First up I have both with the 2016 on Office 356. As an aside it went from 2013 to 2016 and no extra charge. Only $13Aus a month. I only use 2016 for other people and I won't do anything unless they get Office 365. However, I make a lot of the stuff on 2003 because I prefer it and...

    Creating a table similar to word in access form

    Basically you can make anything in Access but for lots of things it might take longer to make. Although after years you tend to have about everything made and just needs modifying. One thing I find good is to have Access as the "manager" and also for data entry and then Access opens an Excel...

    Going "commercial"...

    Just wait until you come across a case and then get the phone book out. You get better results approaching companies if you actually have a real live prospect for them. Probably the big thing is to decide if you want fiddle around on the side for a few extra dollars or go full time at it.

    Going "commercial"...

    I was able to do it as full time source of income and a very good income. However, a couple of advantages I probably has was I had been in the insurance business so could cold call and sell and of course was already self employed and had been that way since I was 21. The money is not in...

    Question Microsoft Access 2000 - how to buy this version?

    I also fit that description but I think if I didn't have 2003 my macro making would be greatly reduced. Personally, I don't think there is a best specific way of making an Access file. For example, in my own case I am very driven by how easy it will be to make changes.

    Question Microsoft Access 2000 - how to buy this version?

    A couple of reason with one being I just like them if you can do the job with them. But a big one is changing something for someone and sending it by email. If I get them to open a form in design view then making changes to VBA will mean we both have a stroke:D But I can email a tiny Access...

    Question Microsoft Access 2000 - how to buy this version?

    So true. I can't speak personally on 2000 but I have very complex stuff on 2003 and runs with perfection on 2016. What is also interesting is macros which for different reason I use a lot. In the later versions of Access they are more difficult to make and are missing many actions...

    Deep South Deep Freeze

    No. I don't really follow bikes. However, a bloke who I know very well and for many years, he is now about 80 and is right into older bikes big time. He used to make rifle barrels down at Robertson (his son took over) and about 10 years ago he rode an old Indian from Sydney to Adelaide and his...

    Deep South Deep Freeze

    Being the swinger was definitely life challenging.:D Two of my favourite sounding engines were the 1000 cc Vincent V Twins used in the outfits and a Sprint Car at idle with no muffler. The Showground was about the biggest sporting event in Sydney of a weekend in summer and especially when the...
